		Ratzel states that "in order to understand the role of Man and his destiny", it is necessary "to picture him on the land where is set the scene of his action" (1900: 13).
		Ratzel's conception follows a logical train of thought that begins with a general concept of the Man-to-Nature relationship, and leads to a geographical definition of the state.
		Ratzel (1902: 63): "In vain have men sought for characteristics in the rocks of the earth and in the composition of the air by which one land might be distinguished from another.

	Chrono-Biographical Sketch: Friedrich Ratzel
		Ratzel is unique in being a central figure in the late nineteenth century shaping of two major fields of knowledge: geography, and anthropology.
		Initially interested in chemistry and zoology and influenced by the evolutionary writings of Ernst Haeckel, Ratzel undertook several years of travel in Europe and North America as a journalist, and this gave him a chance to see first-hand how human beings had evolved socially, as societies, and in response to their environment.
		Within geography Ratzel is generally credited as being the father of political geography (and perhaps of human geography altogether), though he also wrote extensively on physical geography and other subjects.

	CSISS Classics - Friedrich Ratzel, Clark Wissler, and Carl Sauer: Culture Area Research and Mapping (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		Culture area analysis has been used widely in both anthropology and cultural geography because it facilitates comparisons between regions, assists in the historical reconstruction of cultural development, and lends itself to questions about the impact of the natural environment on the form of human cultures.
		Although distinctions between regions based on culture are as old as mankind, the roots of the culture area concept can be traced to Europe, where the work of the German geographer Friedrich Ratzel (1844-1904) inspired the development of the Kulturkreise (cultural circles) school.
		Kulturkreise, which attempted to reconstruct the diffusion, or spread, of cultural traits from a few dominant cultural clusters, was associated with the German anthropologists Leo Frobenius (1873-1938) and Fritz Graebner (1877-1934).

	Politics of Place: Research in Review
		In 1897, a German geographer, Friedrich Ratzel (1844-1904), provided a coherent pattern for political geography, or geopolitics, emphasizing territory as the basis of power.
		Ratzel regarded political states as biological organisms, possessed of a natural need to grow.
		It took an Englishman, however, to conjure out of these elements from Mahan and Ratzel the geographic image which was to haunt international affairs till the last decade of this century.

		The term Lebensraum in this sense was coined by Friedrich Ratzel in 1897, and was used as a slogan in Germany referring to the unification of the country and the acquisition of colonies, as per the English and French models.
		Ratzel believed the development of a people was primarily influenced by their geographical situation and that a people that successfully adapted to one location would proceed naturally to another.
		These beliefs were furthered by scholars of the day, including Karl Haushofer and Friedrich von Bernhardi.

		Ratzel himself realized "that any English form could not be a literal translation, but must be adapted to the Anglo-Celtic and especially to the Anglo-American mind." The writer undertook, with Ratzel's approval, to make such an adapted restatement of the principles, with a view to making them pass current where they are now unknown.
		This was especially necessary, because it was not always obvious that Ratzel had based his inductions on sufficiently broad data; and his published work had been open to the just criticism of inadequate citation of authorities.
		Though it was applied in the original often in great detail, it stood there nevertheless rather as a scaffolding around the finished edifice; and the stability of the structure, after this scaffolding is removed shows how extraneous to the whole it was.

		Her introduction to geography came after graduation during a family trip to London where she was introduced to the work of German geographer, Friedrich Ratzel.
		However, Semple was permitted to attend Ratzel's lectures, sitting alone in the front of the lecture hall separate from 500 male students, and eventually studying directly with Ratzel, but receiving no degree.
		Although she published numerous well-received articles in European and American journals, Semple did not receive a permanent academic appointment until the middle of her career when in 1921 she became the first female faculty member hired at Clark University.

		The present book, as originally planned over seven years ago, was to be a simplified paraphrase or restatement of the principles embodied in Friedrich Ratzel's Anthropo-Geographie.
		The organic theory of society and state permeates the Anthropo-geographie, because Ratzel formulated his principles at a time when Herbert Spencer exercised a wide influence upon European thought.
