Newbigin is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This work explores the development of modern geographical thought and its principles, focusing on the interplay between the physical earth and human activity. The book aims to elucidate how geographical factors influence both natural phenomena and human societies. The opening of "Modern Geography" establishes the significance of the year 1859 as a pivotal moment in the field, marked by the deaths of prominent geographers Humboldt and Ritter, alongside the publication of Darwin's "Origin of Species." Newbigin discusses how these events heralded a shift from mere fact collection to a systematic and scientific approach to geography, linking human activities to the physical environment. He highlights how the ideas introduced by these figures laid the groundwork for modern geographical exploration and the ongoing desire to understand the interrelationships between various elements of the earth and human life. This introduction sets the stage for a detailed exploration of the subject, which will include chapters on surface relief, climate, and the distribution of life.
