George Chisholm (geographer)
- George Chisholm (geographer)
George Chisholm (1850-1930) was a British geographer. He authored the first English-language textbook on economic geography: "Handbook on Commercial Geography" (1889). It was later revised by Kenneth Stamp. (ISBN 0-582-30015-0). He authored a review of Friedrich Naumann's Pan-German work on Central Europe which appeared in The Scottish Geographical Magazine issue 33, which condemned the aggressively militaristic overtones of Naumann's nationalistic work.
