Semple, Ellen Churchill
Born January 8, 1863 in Louisville, Kentucky
Died: May 8, 1932, West Palm Beach, Florida. American geographer. Initially studied history, but studied geography under Friedrich Ratzel in Leipzig, Germany, from 1891 to 1892 and 1895, and was strongly influenced by him. He published many books and papers combining Ratzel's geographical ideas with his own research on American history and the Mediterranean world. However, he was critical of the social organism theory that Ratzel inherited from Spencer. He trained many students at the University of Chicago and Clark University, and his environmental deterministic thinking had a great influence on American geography in the first half of the 20th century. His major works include Influences of Geographic Environment (1911) and The Geography of the Mediterranean Region (1931).

アメリカ合衆国の地理学者。最初歴史学を学んだが,1891~92年,および 1895年にドイツのライプチヒでフリードリヒ・ラッツェルのもとで地理学を学び,その影響を強く受けた。ラッツェルの地理学的思想をみずからのアメリカ史および地中海世界の研究と結びつけて多くの著書,論文を発表した。しかしラッツェルがスペンサーから継承した社会有機体説には批判的であった。シカゴ大学およびクラーク大学で多くの弟子を育て,その環境決定論的な考え方は 20世紀前半のアメリカ地理学に大きな影響を与えた。主著に『環境と人間』Influences of Geographic Environment(1911),『地中海地域の地理』The Geography of the Mediterranean Region(1931)がある。
