OBE (2011) - Breve biografia
- Ron Johnston, geographer and "historian of his subject, due to his magisterial account of Anglo-American human geography, Geography and Geographers (1979), and a prolific scholar who published about 40 books and 800 papers on a wide range of subjects, from the late 1970s, Ron specialised increasingly in elections. In books such as Geography of Elections (1979), co-authored by Peter Taylor, and Putting Voters in Their Place (2006), which he and I {Charles Pattie} wrote, Ron showed that voters' decisions are influenced not only by their personal beliefs, but also by where they live and work." (Guardian obituary, 2020-07-16).
