About the author
Founded in 1830 as the Geographical Society of London, this British learned society was created to promote the advancement of geographical science. It later became the Royal Geographical Society and, after merging with the Institute of British Geographers in 1995, is officially known as the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG).
Over the years, the society became closely linked with exploration, supporting and promoting geographical research, expeditions, lectures, and publications. Its work has also included maintaining a major library, map, and picture collection, helping make geography accessible to scholars and general readers alike.
When this name appears as an author, it usually points to a work produced under the society's institutional authority rather than by one individual. That often means readers are getting material shaped by a broad base of geographical expertise and a long publishing tradition.
