Deals with several practical methods used when research is being done or conducted.

The history of geography includes various histories of geography which have differed over time and between different cultural and political groups. In more recent developments, geography has become a distinct academic discipline. 'Geography' derives from the from Greek γεωγραφία - geographia, a literal translation of which would be "to describe or write about the Earth". The first person to use the word "geography" was Eratosthenes (276-194 BC). However there is evidence for recognizable practices of geography, such as cartography (or map-making) prior to the use of the term geography.
