Geografía

The increasing speed of the expansion of civilization and technology is transforming the world around us by leaps and bounds (climate change and its consequences, accelerated urbanization and massive migration) and emphasizes the increasing importance of knowledge and appreciation of the geography. Often relegated to a subordinate position, this, as a matter concerning the organization of the interconnectedness of populations, different environmental settings and places, nevertheless provides an unbeatable perspective on how these changes happen, why they do so in one place and not another, and its impact on environmental processes and human affairs. This passionate and well-founded claim of Geography, carried out by AB Murphy, advocates "thinking geographically" as a means of strengthening civil society, of contributing to better decision-making by governments and big business for the benefit of all, and to enrich the existence of the individual, making him aware of the world that surrounds him.
