"Mr. Sauer"

Also for readings this week I really enjoyed Mr. Sauer and the Writers by James Parsons. I have really become to enjoy Mr. Parsons work. It seems every piece I read that he writes is really great work that you can tell he knows the general concept of the history, the cultural, and the physical elements that geography contributes to. In the piece Mr. Sauer and the Writers, Parsons relates how Carl Sauer had taken a big affect on the geography world especially you can see the affect it has one group that Parsons takes about is Charles Olson and the poets of the Black Mountain College. Charles Olsen was so amazed with Carl Sauer large view of cultural landscape and the relations it had to the world, that Olsen had almost become obsessed with Sauer views. He taught Sauer ideas and thoughts on the values of cultural landscape to his poets of the Black Mountain College. So they were amazed and really affected by Carl Sauer that they began to study and write about his ideas. This article really showed how Carl Sauer has affected not just geography students but the whole world. His ideas and thoughts have created a positive impact on society and viewing what is a true landscape and the geography of it. You can truly say Carl Sauer is the godfather of geography.
