Dr A.B. Mukerji (1929“2011) was the doyen of cultural geographers in India. Not only did he introduce the idea of cultural geography as a systematic sub-discipline in the country, but he also initiated the study of cultural geography of rural settlements in India. At the same time, his contributions to the fields of physical geography and geomorphology have been seminal.
The present book is not, however, about AB the geographer, but about AB the family man, husband, father, loyal friend, generous colleague, and caring teacher to generations of students. A vivid and compelling portrait emerges of the human being behind the scholar, as family and friends, students and colleagues write of their encounters and long-lasting relationships with him. isbn 9788131605264
