This book examines intellectual curiosity as the driving force in scholarly endeavor on the borderlands of geography history anthropology and other disciplines. The premise is that curiosity is a salient trait of certain people past and present and that each field has its exemplars in this regard. For Carl O. Sauer (1889-1975) America's leading geographer of the twentieth century and his intellectual descendants the inquisitive spirit stood high on the list of indispensable scholarly attributes. Their curiosity-driven studies converging space time ecology and culture involved a fluid and unpredictable process of intellectual discovery. This book combining the empirical with the philosophical and reflexive describes how the power of intrinsic motivation and the thread of a romantic consciousness blend with the joy of polymathic exploration.
