This intriguing book considers the relationship between geographical knowledge, exploration #38; empire. In its investigation of the cultural resources mobilized for exploration, it considers the role of institutions, individual explorers, #38; the wider culture-from travel narratives to imperial exhibitions. Geography Militant pays particular attention to the contradictory #38; contested nature of discourses of exploration, situating them in the context of contemporary conceptions of national identity, gentlemanly science, #38; the ethics of empire.
