Their purpose in doing so is to review, identify, and characterize some of the more salient features and themes of the discipline as it has evolved over the years. The volume is divided into five major sections, four of which are based on Pattison's four traditions in American geography: earth science, man-land, area studies, and spatial. In the fifth section, Wheeler and Sibley focus on geographic education, citing quotations pertaining to techniques, application, and thought.

Book citations are listed alphabetically by the author's last name, and the periodical articles are grouped into nine categories, also listed alphabetically by the author's last name.Following the listing of books on geographic thought, the volume groups the periodical articles into nine categories. The categories are as follows: Geography and Other Disciplines, Geography in Various Countries, Geographic Techniques and Models, Philosophy in Geography, The Profession of Geography, Subdisciplines of Geography, Applied Geography, and Educational Geography.
