Holcomb, Briavel; Tiefenbacher, John
Journal of Geography in Higher Education, v13 n2 p159-167 1989
Assesses the first National Geography Awareness Week that was held from November 15-21, 1987. Points out that there was much media coverage about how geographically ignorant the U.S. population was. Contends that this public relations event had little impact on improving the image of geography as a serious discipline. (GG)
