I can see the problem that this might cause for a master's thesis. But
on the other hand, isn't this one of the beauties of geography? That
the great variety and breadth of possible subject matters actively
discourages over-restrictive specialisation? IMHO, the world needs
good "generalists" as well as specialists. And, think of the self-
denial that you are imposing on yourself if you restrict yourself
to only one or two subjects of enquiry! :-)

Thanks for the note.
