from Part II - Essays: Inspiring Fieldwork
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 February 2020
The title is a play on a geographic text that had a great impact on my early academic career. This was Place and Placelessness by Edward Relph (Relph, 1976). My realisation that geography wasn’t just the subject you did when you couldn’t think what you wanted to do with your life came in 1974, with the publication of Douglas Pocock’s The Nature of Environmental Perception (Pocock, 1974). A Durham geography undergraduate at the time, then as a postgraduate town planner and subsequently as a geography lecturer, this, and related texts, sustained my interest in places and their meaning, culminating in a 35-year career of sending people to places to holiday.
