Abstract
ASIA covers one third of the land-surface of the globe, and half the world's population is packed into the Indo-Pacific hinterland, the territories between the Indus and the Amur. An author attempting to sketch its bewildering varieties of relief, climate and natural resources, and, at the same time, to summarise coherently the effects of geographical control on its products and the activities of its peoples, must be equipped with an immense detailed knowledge and possess literary ability of an exceptional kind.
