Abstract:
The aim of the paper is to develop a geographical account of creativity by drawing on Arthur Koestler’s work. For Koestler creativity is sparked by the clash of two incompatible frames of meaning, and resolved by a new act of creation. Missing from Koestler’s account is geography, however. To show how geography might be brought into Koestler’s scheme the paper works through a detailed case study within the recent history of geography: the writing and publication of two very different but equally creative books by the well-known American geographer, William Bunge (1928–2013). In the late 1950s

Abstract:
This submission is a distillation of research by the author over nearly five decades from 1955. In Chapter One I spell out some of the basic pre-suppositions which have underlain all of my research. I have been much more interested in the solving of particular problems rather than with the development of theory and that I have been particularly interested in the reaction of people to the own geographic situations. This has led me to believe that top/down approaches to development are much less likely to be successful than grassroots ones which take into consideration socio-cultural situations.

Abstract:
Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) dating has many potential applications in the fields of archaeology and Quaternary geomorphology. In particular, it offers a useful addition to more established techniques for dating speleothems, which not only have relevance to Quaternary geomorphology but may also carry palaeomagnetic and palaeoclimatic data. This work consolidates the method of ESR dating, with special reference to calcite speleothems, and contributes to several important aspects of the methodology.

Hydroecological relationships in alpine catchments are poorly understood. Glacial icemelt, snowmelt and groundwater sources each produce a distinctive suite of physico-chemical stream habitat characteristics in alpine streams. These spatially and temporally dynamic habitat conditions influence stream benthic community composition. An interdisciplinary approach (hydrology-hydrochemistry-ecology) was adopted to examine hydroecological responses to dynamic alpine water source contributions, involving development and testing of a new conceptual model of alpine stream habitat classification.

The subsidy that is linked to the projects gives the organisations in the region extra financial capacity, which allows organisations to do something extra besides their regular activities.

Abstract:
What are the barriers that separate nations? While recent work provides intriguing clues, we have remarkably little concrete evidence as to the nature, size, and shape of barriers. This paper offers direct and indirect evidence on trade barriers, moving us toward a comprehensive geography of trade costs. There are three main contributions. One, we provide detailed data on freight rates for a number of importers. Rates vary substantially over exporters, and aggregate expenditures on freight are at the low end of the observed range. This suggests import choices are made so as to minimize transpo

Abstract:
The main purpose of this paper is to measure the contributions of the changes in the labor market to the increase in inequality experienced by Mexico after the 1985 trade and financial liberalization. To do so, the paper uses data from Mexican household surveys (Encuesta Nacional de Ingreso Gasto de los Hogares de México) produced by the Mexican Institute for Statistics, Geography and Informatics (Instituto Nacional de Estadística, Geografía e Informática) for 1984 and 1994. The paper applies a counterfactual methodology to measure the effects on inequality of changes in labor force participat

Abstract:
Geography plays a crucial role in understanding our world. It makes a vital contribution to our knowledge of the rapidly changing environmental and social challenges facing us and how we should tackle them. Supporting them effectively can present multiple opportunities and challenges for academic staff. For those embarking on a career in geographical teaching and learning, recognising these issues, and developing a toolbox of strategies with which to address them is key to developing good teaching practice. This guide offers a starting point for this process for graduate teaching assistants, teac

Abstract:
This paper examines inequality in the Andean countries using satellite-recorded nighttime lights and gridded population datasets from 2012 to 2021. We follow a multiple-stage nested Theil index decomposition method accounting for each country's lowest administrative divisions to enhance our understanding of how spatial dimensions contribute as primary sources of inequality and how these contributions vary across each country. The main findings reveal a decrease in overall inequality for the Andean region throughout the period (primarily driven by a decline in between-country inequality) and an

Abstract:
This paper explores the possibility of promoting climate resilience and carbon neutrality throughout the life cycle of road infrastructure in Tajikistan. Given the country’s geographic and topographic challenges, its transport infrastructure is exposed to risks associated with extreme climate change events. In addition, Tajikistan’s transport sector needs to adopt measures for promoting carbon neutrality to meet the country’s environmental commitments. Focusing on Tajikistan’s road subsector—the dominant transport subsector—the paper proposes a life cycle approach aligned with the country’s up

Abstract:
This paper aims to examine Sri Lanka's environmental licensing system and assess its adequacy for the successful development of offshore wind projects. Sri Lanka has been recognized as an ideal location for offshore renewable energy projects, particularly offshore wind, due to its geographic characteristics as an island with consistent 24-hour wind conditions. This article explores the factors contributing to Sri Lanka's suitability for offshore wind energy and evaluates the current environmental licensing procedures in place. Additionally, it draws on past experiences where inadequate environ
