Abstract
WHAT Mr. Stephenson describes as “general” is more commonly known among teachers as “physical” geography; but since an understanding of the broad principles, with which he deals in this attractive book must precede a study of the geography of special areas, his title sufficiently describes the character of his chapters. The section styled “organic” geography will prove especially useful to teachers as indicating the way in which man's development has been modified by his surroundings, and the manner in which man in his turn has influenced the character and distribution of life on the globe. The book is exceptionally rich in well-executed maps which will increase greatly its usefulness as a class-manual. The volume may be recommended to the careful attention of teachers of geography.
