Gilbert White: progress in geography.

The article focuses on the efforts of American geographer Gilbert White in dealing with natural hazards management. It mentions about the paper published by White regarding his concerns for safety and security which focused on water supply, peace and conflict resolution, and management of river basins. However, White gave little time to the articulation of philosophy or theory and avoided theoretical debates and referred philosophical questions. After all the efforts, the author concluded that White mattered was the inner man both his own self and those whose lives he touched.
