La geografía es el estudio de las tierras, características, habitantes y fenómenos del planeta Tierra. La geografía es una disciplina que lo abarca todo y que busca una comprensión de la Tierra y sus complejidades humanas y naturales, no solo dónde están los objetos, sino también cómo han cambiado y llegado a ser. Aunque la geografía es específica de la Tierra, muchos conceptos pueden aplicarse de manera más amplia a otros cuerpos celestes en el campo de la ciencia planetaria. La geografía ha sido llamada "un puente entre las disciplinas de las ciencias naturales y las ciencias sociales."
“Kant, the great German master of logical thought, gave geography its place in the over-all framework of organized, objective knowledge.”
“I wanna hang a map of the world in my house. Then I'm gonna put pins into all the locations that I've traveled to. But first, I'm gonna have to travel to the top two corners of the map so it won't fall down.”
“As a young man, my fondest dream was to become a geographer. However... I thought deeply about the matter and concluded that it was far too difficult a subject. With some reluctance, I then turned to physics as a substitute.”
“Since my youth geography has been for me the primary object of study. When I was engaged in it, having applied the considerations of the natural and geometric sciences, I liked, little by little, not only the description of the earth, but also the structure of the whole machinery of the world, whose numerous elements are not known by anyone to date.”
“Ptolemy's Geography is the only book on cartography to have survived from the classical period and one of the most influential scientific works of all time.”
“Even heavy automobile traffic out of New York City on a summer weekend minutely unbalances the earth as it rotates.”
