Eric Weiner Quote: “Tuan is the great unheralded geographer of our time and a man whose writing has accompanied me throughout my journeys. He called one chapter of his autobiography “Salvation by Geography.” The title is tongue-in-cheek, but only slightly, for geography can be our salvation.

Eric Weiner Quote: “The Scots studied the past to understand the present, and of course improve it.
