History

In 1852, the American Geographical Society began publishing its first academic journal, the Bulletin [and Journal] of the American Geographical Society.[2] This publication continued through 1915, when it was succeeded by the Geographical Review.[3]

Notable contributors include Robert J. Flaherty, who introduced the concept for Nanook of the North in his contributions to Geographical Review,[4] Mark Jefferson, who was the chief cartographer of the American Delegation to the Paris Peace Conference in 1919 and presented his article The Law of the Primate City in the 1939, as well as Dr. Martin Pasqualetti who in 2011 introduced his theory on Social Barriers to Renewable Energy Landscapes.
