Geographia Generalis is a book about geography. It was written by Bernhardus Varenius and first published in 1650. This influential book helped start modern geographical science and was very important to the development of geography as a scientific discipline. A geographer named Fred Lukermann said that Geographia Generalis was what made medieval geography end and modern geography begin.
