About the Author :
Phil Gersmehl is Professor and Director of the New York Center for Geographic Learning, Department of Geography, Hunter College, City University of New York. He has worked with geographic alliances in 23 states, as well as with similar groups in Canada, England, Japan, Korea, and Russia. He was Director of the ARGUS Project and Codirector of the ARGWorld Project, both funded by the National Science Foundation and other sources, and both administered by the Association of American Geographers. Prior to moving to Hunter, he worked on Distance Learning courses for the Continuing Education and Extension program at the University of Minnesota, and on a number of instructional computing projects for IBM and for several university programs. A highlight of his work at that time was a pilot TV episode for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. He is the author of two textbooks, Physical Geography and the Language of Maps, a regular contributor to the journals of several professional societies, and the recipient of awards for research and geographic education.

Review :
With humor, wit, and a unique perspective, Gersmehl blends content and pedagogy in an intriguing yet practical manner. Both experienced educators and first-year teachers will find this book useful and inspiring. Especially valuable is Gersmehl's concrete contribution to the emerging yet elusive and abstract area of spatial thinking. Teaching Geography communicates the research, experiences, and insights of a master geography educator. -Sarah Witham Bednarz, Department of Geography, Texas A&M University; Project Coordinator, Geography Education National Implementation Project A 'must' for all courses on geographical pedagogy, whether they be for pre-service or in-service geography and social studies teachers... This is one of those rare textbooks that contains so many 'thinking gems' that you can pick any random spot and, in just five minutes, give yourself a mental lift that banishes the teaching doldrums. In these dark days of teaching to the high-stakes test, it is incredibly refreshing to find an antidote that focuses on teaching to enrich students' lives. -Ron Dorn, Department of Geography, Arizona State University; Co-Coordinator, Arizona Geographic Alliance This book should be required reading for students in pre-service programs, and will be kept at hand for reference as these future teachers learn how to plan their classes. Gersmehl offers a broad range of approaches to illustrate concepts, whether topical or regional, local or global, allowing for flexibility to suit a particular teaching style or classroom setting. Suggestions for more effective use of media and the discussion of the 'geography of the classroom' are also valuable. This book has much to offer teachers of geography at all levels. - Gail Hobbs, Department of Geography, Pierce College; Past President, National Council for Geographic Education; Former Coordinator, Southern California Geographic Alliance
