Abstract
PROFS. WHITBECK and FINCH'S volume is a well-written text-book on orthodox lines, which result in the field of economic geography being somewhat restricted. The United States and Canada are treated very fully as one economic unit, followed by a summary of Canada. These chapters contain much useful material, but the rest of the world, with the exception of Central and South America, receives too brief a treatment for the book to prove acceptable on the eastern side of the Atlantic. The sketch maps and diagrams are instructive, and there are bibliographical references.
