Whatever course we choose one thing is certain; that those changes which are forcing the West to "an agonising reappraisal" of its role and its values are profoundly influencing those intellectual disciplines by which we seek to interpret the world. It is inevitable that geography, concerned more than any other discipline with an interpretation of these relationships between man and earth, should feel these changes. It was indeed inevitable that the methods and the techniques formulated to interpret a gradually-evolving European scene should prove inadequate for the interpretation of a new swiftly-changing world scene, charactenzed by a new dynamism in the relationships of man to the earth, by the emergence of old cultures and new ideologies and by the growing interdependence of peoples. -Buchanan, 1962
