To learn about even a single organism is a truly Herculean task. It is much easier to understand a cloud than a chrysanthemum, simpler to comprehend a moraine than a moose, less difficult to perceive a tornado than a tarantula. If our goal as geographers were a complete understanding of the world's organisms, we would need at least the life span of a Methuselah. As beneficial as such knowledge

would be, however, a student of geography can be a bit less ambitious. With organisms, as with every other feature of the world, the geographer must focus on certain aspects rather than on a complete comprehension of the whole.
