Geographical dictionaries have a long history. A number were published in Europe in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries: a few - mostly those with greater pretensions to providing conceptual order-were described as ‘Geographical Grammars’. The majority were compendia of geographical information, or gazetteers, some of which were truly astonishing in their scope.
It was in large measure the addition of those skills to the necessary accomplishments of a human geographer that prompted the first edition of The Dictionary of Human Geography. In its Preface was noted that the changes in human geography since the Second World War had generated a ‘linguistic explosion’ within the discipline. Part of the Dictionary’s, purpose - then as now - was to provide students and others with a series of frameworks for situating, understanding and interrogating the modem lexicon. Certainly the intention was always to provide something more than a collection of annotated reading lists. Individual entries were located within a web of cross-references to other entries, which enabled readers to follow their own paths through the Dictionary, sometimes to encounter unexpected parallels and convergences, sometimes to encounter creative tensions and contradictions. But the major entries were intended to be comprehensible on their own, and many of them not only provided lucid presentations of key issues but also made powerful contributions to subsequent debates.
This sense of The Dictionary of Human Geography as both mirror and goad, as both reflecting and provoking work in our field, has been retained in all subsequent editions.
