Lecture: what is geography and what is globalization. Jackson, peter, 2006, thinking geographically , geography, vol. Massey, doreen, 2002, globalisation: what does it mean for geography, geography, vol. The public perception of geography is as a fact-based rather than conceptual discipline. Geography gives a unique perspective of seeing the world, understanding complex problems and thinking about inter-connections at a variety of scales. David lambert makes a distinction between geography vocabulary and its grammar. Grammar; the concepts and theories that help us make sense of all the places. The action plan for geography: lists five concepts. Space and place: there are many arguments, opinions that geographers have in terms the distinction between place and space. Tuan (1977): place is a humanised space, an abstract world made real through human inhabitation; the investments of emotion, the attribution of meaning with that space makes it a place.
