Geography Today

'Geography Today' is the new replacement for the 'Geography Review' journal which was published for some years by Hachette, before they closed down their print journals.

It was started by my undergraduate tutor Tim Burt, his wife and colleagues back in 1987 - based at Durham University, just after I finished my degree, and just before I started teaching in 1988. I was a subscriber from the start, and used articles and ideas in my teaching for many years.

I have paper copies of the first 15 volumes or so, after which school copies took over.  Here's the first issue.

The publication has now been taken on by the Royal Geographical Society, with the same editorial team, and contributions from familiar names.

And here's the first edition of the new journal. 

It has been officially launched today, although new RGS School Members (for the reduced price of £50 per year).

What can you expect from Geography Today?

• Contributions from a wide range of experts
• A trusted source, backed by the Society as part of our mission to advance geographical learning
• Easily-accessible digital publication, free with RGS School Membership and delivered termly
• Digital content linked to the Society’s lectures, podcasts, resources and wider work
• Three issues per academic year

Geography Today connects students with the wider world. It helps them make sense of a world in flux, ask better questions about places, people, the planet and environments – and discover how to find better answers.

You can get digital copies by becoming a School Member of the RGS.

Print copies can also be obtained with a separate payment.

I like the thud of the copy on the desk personally.

Congratulations to the editorial team and all involved in bringing back this popular journal.
