Abstract:

Professor Zhu Hejian, a famous expert in physical geography and natural resource science, has taught for more than 70 years. At the advanced age of 90, he continued to write and published the book “New Explorations in Modern Geography: Perspectives from Science, Application, and Education”. The book not only permeates Zhu Hejian's deep understanding of the essence of geography from his 70 years of teaching experience in universities but also contains thorough thinking on teaching and educating students. The new theories and viewpoints proposed can profoundly affect the development of modern geography in China. The book takes the soil and water conservation work in Changting County as a case study, adhering to the mindset of “seeing the land, while perceiving the people”, combining soil and water conservation efforts with the adjustment of rural economic structures. The strategies for ecological restoration were extracted, and solutions for technical bottlenecks, spatial limitations, and systemic barriers in regional soil and water conservation were promoted in this book. This has led to the long-term effectiveness of soil and water conservation measures in Changting County and the industrialization of soil and water conservation, forming a stable and healthy governance pattern. After reading this book, we can gain a deeper understanding of the new thinking in modern geography.

Key words: modern geography, new thinking, scientific perspective, application perspective, educational perspective

摘要：

著名的自然地理学和自然资源学专家朱鹤健教授从教70余载，在鲐背之年依然笔耕不辍，出版了《现代地理学新探：科学观 应用观 教育观》一书。该书不仅渗透着朱鹤健教授在高校任教70年来对地理学学科精髓的深刻理解，还包含对教书育人的透彻思考，提出的新理论和观点将对中国现代地理学的发展产生深刻的影响。该书以长汀水土保持工作为案例，秉承“见地及人”的思维，把水土保持工作与农村经济结构调整相结合，凝练出生态恢复的策略，并推进解决区域水土保持的技术瓶颈、空间局限和体制障碍，促使长汀水土保持措施的长效化以及水土保持产业化，形成长期稳定健康的治理模式。研读该书，可以更深入地理解现代地理学的新思维。
