Editing Geography

'''Geography''' is a field of science dedicated to the study of the lands, the features, the inhabitants, and the phenomena of the [[Earth]]. A literal translation would be "to describe or write about the Earth". The first person to use the word "geography" was Eratosthenes (276–194 BC). Four historical traditions in geographical research are [[spatial analysis]] of the natural and the human phenomena (geography as the study of distribution), [[area studies]] (places and regions), study of the human-land relationship, and research in the [[Earth science]]s. Nonetheless, modern geography is an all-encompassing discipline that foremost seeks to understand the Earth and all of its human and natural complexities - not merely where objects are, but how they have changed and come to be. Geography has been called "the world discipline" and "the bridge between the human and the [[physical science]]". Geography is divided into two main branches: [[human geography]] and [[physical geography]].
