    Geographers: Biobibliographical Studies sheds new light on the history of geography through the biographies of distinguished practitioners from New Zealand, Britain, Ireland, and Hungary. Volume 41 focuses on inclusivity, highlighting the contribution of geography to numerous fields, and examining the role of portraiture in the history of geography for the first time. With a particular emphasis on the role of portraiture, this volume is richly illustrated, and explores how imagers can contribute to visual methods used in geographical studies. The volume explores the lives of 6 prominent geographers, including Dame Edith Stokes, a New Zealand geographer who did pioneering work with the Maori community, and Ferenc Fodor, a Hungarian geographer who lived through both World Wars. Combined, their lives cover 200 years of history, and touch on numerous fields from historical geography to popular geography.

    The newest volume of GBS provides thoughtfully chosen portraits of six geographers from the UK, Hungary, and New Zealand that inform the reader about their lives, academic trajectories, and achievements. These biographies of people like you and me confirm a narrative turn in the studies on the history of geography and point out the necessity to open up more space for storytelling to understand what defines geography as a plurivocal discipline. * Jörn Seemann, Associate Professor of Geography, Ball State University, USA *
