  Highly controversial and written by one of America's first female professional geographers, 'Influences of Geographic Environment' was considered by some a monument to Semple's scholarship and erudition, whilst for others it was conceptually flawed. Innes Keighren explains why the book was encountered differently and aroused the passions it did.
