Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
There are plenty of books which deal with the details of imports and exports and the origin of commodities. In this volume the attempt has been made rather to see what economic geography means, and to emphasise the facts that are really important for each citizen to know. In view of the uses to which the book may be put in continuation -school work, it has been thought well to make each chapter self-contained, but the discerning will note that the order of the subject matter is not haphazard. Not only is there the order suggested in the titles of the chapters, but there are other sequences. Simple ideas are introduced before the more complex; the whole of Part I. is simpler than Part II.; and each chapter is in some degree a development out of those that precede it. There is also a geographical order. Chapters I. and II.
