Last September, I went to a long-delayed memorial event for the late David Lowenthal, a historian and geographer I greatly admired who died in September 2018 in his late nineties (he was born on 26 April 1923). As a result, I was asked to contribute a short essay to a volume of essays by friends and colleagues which had already been published as a special volume of Landscape Research. Rather amazingly, this volume is already available with a new introduction and my essay in spite of the fact that I feel that have only just delivered my contribution.

You can get it with a hefty discount from Pages of Hackney, our nearly local bookshop (David Lowenthal’s Archipelagic and Transatlantic Landscapes: His Public and Scholarly Heritage – Pages of Hackney).
