  • Centenary of the Department of Geography, University of Aberdeen
    Centenary of the Department of Geography, University of Aberdeen Lorna J. Philipa and Kevin J. Edwardsa, b a Department of Geography and Environment, School of Geosciences, University of Aberdeen, Aberdeen, UK b Scott Polar Research Institute, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK Corresponding Author: Lorna Philip [email protected] 1 Centenary of the Department of Geography, University of Aberdeen Abstract Prior to the amalgamation of Aberdeen’s two medieval universities in 1860, Geography had been taught to undergraduate students at both King’s and Marischal Colleges since at least the late 16th Century. First mooted in the early 1900s, it was not until 1919 that a lectureship in Geography at Aberdeen was created and a ‘Department of Geography’ came into being. In this contribution we chronicle how, over a century, the Geography department has evolved, highlighting developments in the curriculum and research-related activities. The early decades of the Department were shaped by John McFarlane, the first and only full-time appointee in Geography until his retirement in 1945. The post-World War II period, led by Andrew O’Dell, saw Geography develop into a large and influential Department. During the 1960s and 1970s, the Department (and University) experienced unprecedented levels of growth. Student numbers, research output and income accelerated apace. In the recent past national assessments of research and teaching quality and institutional restructuring have prompted further change. As the Department enters a second century it remains committed to delivering a high quality education to undergraduate and postgraduate students and to the pursuit of excellent geographical research. Keywords: Geography; University of Aberdeen 2 Thay haif said Quhat say thay Lat thame say (They have said, What say they? Let them say) The quotation above, in Scots, is the motto of George Keith, Earl Marischal and the founder of Marischal College.

  • Haig's Intelligence
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-03961-2 - Haig’s Intelligence: GHQ and the German Army, 1916–1918 Jim Beach Frontmatter More information Haig’s Intelligence Haig’s Intelligence is an important new study of Douglas Haig’s contro- versial command during the First World War. Based on extensive new research, it addresses a perennial question about the British army on the Western Front between 1916 and 1918: why did they think they were winning? Jim Beach reveals how the British perceived the German army through a study of the development of the British intelligence system, its personnel and the ways in which intelligence was gathered. He also examines how intelligence shaped strategy and operations by exploring the influence of intelligence in creating perceptions of the enemy. He shows for the first time exactly what the British knew about their opponent, when and how, and, in so doing, sheds significant new light on continuing controversies about the British army’s conduct of oper- ations in France and Belgium and the relationship between Haig and his chief intelligence officer, John Charteris. jim beach is Senior Lecturer in Twentieth-Century History at the University of Northampton. He is also Secretary of the Army Records Society. © in this web service Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-03961-2 - Haig’s Intelligence: GHQ and the German Army, 1916–1918 Jim Beach Frontmatter More information Cambridge Military Histories Edited by HEW STRACHAN Chichele Professor of the History of War, University of Oxford, and Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford GEOFFREY WAWRO Professor of Military History, and Director of the Military History Center, University of North Texas The aim of this series is to publish outstanding works of research on warfare throughout the ages and throughout the world.
