“In the short span we have available to explore the wonders, problems and possibilities of life on this colourful planet, there is one avenue of curiosity that provides more insight into our dynamic habitat than any other – Geography. It is the spatial discipline that helps everyone understand our world, its places, people and environments. Geography is a journey, a quest for the new that takes us to the edges of perception, to the rim of our imagination and returns us to the centre of the place we call home.” Nick Crane, What Makes us Human on the Jeremy Vine Show.
