It’s a TAA tradition: Geographer Robert W. Christopherson opens each annual TAA conference with a “geo-primer,” a one-hour crash course on geography and “place.” For this year’s visit to San Antonio, the award-winning geography textbook author explored the city as a point of convergence in geography and history, from the physical setting in the southern Great Plains to the challenges to settlement posed by dryness and vast distances.
Professor Emeritus of Geography, American River College, Christopherson is the author of the leading physical geography texts in the US and Canada, all published by Pearson Prentice Hall.
