Abstract

The unity of geography is a political rallying-point within the discipline at the present time. This paper examines four aspects of the argument for unity-human/physical integration; systematic fragmentation; spatial; and regional. It argues that systematic fragmentation is the greatest impediment to unity and academic utility.
