Joseph Kerski, one of ESRI’s education managers, has recently authored a book that is
very obviously based on his personal enthusiasm as a geographer, who is tremendously
proud of his profession. The book’s title, Interpreting Our World – 100 Discoveries That
Revolutionized Geography, addresses the idea that a broad range of different events at
different times pushed forward the subject of geography – by geographers (in the broader
sense), who interpreted these events and made meaning of them using and developing
methods of geography. Therefore, the book mainly tells the coherent narration of how
geographers have helped to improve the world. More or less, a story of success of
geography is told, a song of praise for the geographers’ profession and abilities that bring
benefits to everyday life.
