Notes: Alexander von Humboldt pioneered scientific geography and wrote "Kosmos." Carl Ritter viewed geography as the study of Earth’s influence on man. Friedrich Ratzel formulated Environmental Determinism and the concept of "Lebensraum." The Heartland Theory, however, was developed by Halford Mackinder, not Charles Lyell, who was a geologist.
