The Consultant Geographer

In this book A. G. McLellan contends that geography has lost much of its early "mercantile" preoccupation (exploration, topographical survey, mapping of trade routes and resource discovery) and reached a point in its evolution where "academic" dominance has a dangerously limiting stranglehold of the subject. The pragmatic practitioners of the subject have not had great influence in charting its future course. The success of our graduates in the private sector has gone largely unrecognized, but is a lesson on which to build. The book is written to challenge and encourage students of geography, geography teachers, researchers and practitioners.
