Twenty-five years ago a geomorphologist, N. M. Fenneman, discussed what he called “the circumference of geography”. On that circumference Fenneman placed climatology, biogeography, commercial geography, political geography, mathematical geography, and physiography (geomorphology); all of which overlapped, in both data and techniques, the territories of related disciplines. If geography consisted of no more than an aggregate of these peripheral subjects, said Fenneman, it would have little right to exist.
