Talk by 1. S. Maxwell Lecturer in Geography.
University of Sheffield
Talking about the book by W. G. Hoskins recently published under this title, Mr. Maxwell argues that only the geographer ' has been trained to observe, to describe, and-as far as it is possible -to explain the landscape as a whole.' He speaks particularly of the physical factors underlying the formation of the landscape, both rural and urban.
