Textul de pe ultima copertă
‘Ray Watters is a geographer and one of the founders of the Wellington School of Geography established along with figures such as Keith Buchanan, Terry McGee and Harvey Franklin. He established a program of internationally recognized research and publication spanning work in Latin America, Pacific Islands, Asia and New Zealand, and involved the establishment of the journal Pacific Viewpoint (now Asia Pacific Viewpoint), and as editor for 20 years. Early interests in agricultural systems shifted to wider concerns for the structural conditions that conditioned the lives of rural people inhibiting their progress. Those of us who work in that school now recognize and seek to extend that legacy. Ray has maintained a remarkable record of research and publication through to the present.’
–John Overton, Wellington Director of Development Studies, School of Geography, Environmental and Earth Science at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand; PHD Cambridge University, Fulbright Scholar, Distinguished New Zealand Geographer Award, Senior Professor
