Geography, Topography, and Travel
[Introduction to Contents]
What kind of research is geographer doing? And what kind of things have been revealed?
The core of geography research is field work.
This book is a "True Record and field work" in which Professor Emeritus of Kyoto University, geographer, who has visited more than 50 countries so far, talks about the geographical knowledge he gained while traveling for survey and research, including various experiences he encountered in the field.
He visits African countries, South America, islands in the Pacific, and the Indian interior, and reveals the reality of field work, culture, and society, while depicting scenes of field work that cannot be experienced in a normal life.
This book is a story of the struggle of the author who pushed for survey and research with curiosity while being robbed and his car overturned.
