The core study of geography is the study of places, that is the analysis of the significant differences that distinguish the various
areas
of the world from each other. Among the differences that are significant to this areal differentiation, one of the more obvious are differences in landforms; one of the least obvious to the eye, but nonetheless important in molding the character of
areas
, are the differences in their political organization. In pursuing these and other separate topics, geographers "radiate out in diverse directions" "and for various distances, toward the cores of other disciplines." As long as they realise where they are in reference to the central core, they may hope to understand each other purposes.

The unique purpose of geography is to seek comprehension of the variable character of
areas
in terms of all the interrelated features which together form that variable character.

The border position of geography between the natural and the social sciences is fairly generally recognized. Concerned primarily with differences in the different
areas
of the world, geography studies both natural and cultural features. In some universities, it is included among the natural sciences, in other among the social scientists. In England and America, geographers have particularly cultivated that portion of their field which leads naturally into economics, i. e. economic geography.
