Aspects of Nature in Different Lands and Different Climates

Naturalist, botanist, zoologist, author, cartographer, artist, and sociologist, he is widely respected as the founder of physical geography (and climatalogy), and his influence on all branches of natural science still persists today.Knight, David is the author of 'Aspects of Nature in Different Lands and Different Climates ' with ISBN 9780415289337 and ISBN 0415289335.
