A Geography of the Wor1d

Abstract

THIS work, of which the first two volumes have now been published, was planned some fifteen years ago, and was already in active preparation when the European War intervened. When work on it was resumed, the originator and editor, M. Vidal de la Blache, had died, but the project was carried through by M. L. Gallois on the lines that had been laid down. The facts of geography are not new, but the geographer can view them at a fresh angle; and this book is an excellent example f how the geographical outlook, with its selection and correlation of facts and linking of cause and effect, can illuminate the description of a country.
