‘In my opinion geographical enquiry is poorly understood
but is the heart of geographical thinking. For me it is the framework that
geographers use to understand the complex
world’
Tom Biebrach, Head of Geography
To me the point of an enquiry is to find an
answer that you don't yet know. You can only
have a worthwhile enquiry if you have a worthwhile question
that is capable of being
answered
Ian Murray
‘Finding out why and how‘

Is this a crime?
‘Somebody in Moscow came up with the idea that you could grow
cotton here. Nobody thought to
calculate what would happen to
the Aral Sea. Nobody thought
about such a minor detail. So the sea
began to disappear.
President Nazarbayev of Kazakhstan
Crime:
• noun 1 an offence against an individual or the state which is punishable by law. 2 such actions collectively. 3 informal something shameful or deplorable.
Oxford English Dictionary
Christopher Robbins travelled to Kazakhstan and wrote a book. This is a part of it

• The fact that places, environments and communities are constantly changing renders geography one of the most exciting, most relevant, and yet most challenging subjects to teach and to learn. The desire of the human mind to learn more about our world is what drove explorers of the past across the globe. The frontier for our children is to really understand it.
