This volume of Geographers Biobibliographical Studies brings together essays on four Frenchmen, a Czech, and three Englishmen. The lives of our subjects extend from the late Enlightenment and the era of 'polite science' in Regency Britain to the first decade of the 21st century. These geographers and their studies are linked not only in their regional expertise - from Brazil, French Indo-China to Scandinavia and South Africa - but also by their commitment to the development of geography as a science and as a discipline. Here, in different settings and at different times, we can see how the lived experience of geographers' lives shaped the contours of the subject.

Ce livre pose le problème de la puissance du Brésil au XXIe siècle. Quels ont été les paradigmes stratégiques et diplomatiques qui ont servi d'outils de projection de la puissance de ce pays ? L'auteur propose la mise en place du "Corridor AFROSUDAMERICASIE" structuré autour du "Bloc BAIC" (Brésil-Afrique du Sud-Inde-Chine) au sein duquel le Brésil doit être le "nombril diplomatique" et la tête de pont entre l'Atlantique, le Pacifique et l'Asie pour asseoir sa projection de puissance au XXIe siècle.
