		The focus of environment geography is on the fields such as environment pollution process, environmental biochemical circulation and environment evolution.

	Foreword to Historical Geography
		The first objectives of historical field work are to value the habitat in terms of former habit, and to re-locate the former pattern of activity as indicated in the documentary record.
		Let protest fall where it may, I should not be interested in historical geography or in human geography except as helping to understand the differentiation of cultures, and I cannot get understanding of this sort except by learning the ways and devices men have used for making a living out of their homelands.
		Historically, therefore, it is not the central parts of a culture area that the great developments take place, but on what was both the most exposed and the most alluring border.

	Michael Broers \| The Myth and Reality of Italian Regionalism: A Historical Geography of Napoleonic Italy, ...
		Its first task is to establish the usefulness of terms and concepts drawn from historical geography in this context; it then examines the consequences of a brutally swift change of regime in a definable region where geography was already a seminal influence on political culture.
		Geography remains central but not in terms of physical reductionism; regions are not just delimited areas but ones with long-established social and political traits.
		Indeed, history and geography mix best, but also most blatantly, in areas where there is a clear frontier, and where crude political expansion has dominated the history of a given part of the world.

	Historical Biogeography: Geography as Evolution, Evolution as Geography, by Charles H. Smith
		Restricting "geography" and the "pattern of divergence" to conceptually different spaces leads us directly to the brink of environmental determinism; whenever we create artificially distinct spaces to sponsor single process understandings we are looking for trouble.
		This reasoning is in effect extended to the spatial arena; as a result, the biogeographical extrapolation of cladistics theory, vicariance analysis, consists, as mentioned earlier, of a literal projection of the history of the divergence patterns of the group under study onto a separately conceived, "geographic", space.
		The "geography as handmaiden" approach to biogeography is a contradiction in terms: the distribution of organisms is not assignable to a (prior) geographical space, it is geographical space.
