Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Business Geography
Modern geography has become a definite science. Its principles are so well defined that a knowledge of the physical conditions under which a race has lived and now lives gives a reasonably reliable indi cation as to the capacity, activity, Occupations, and business relap tions of that race. In studying this growing science the first step is to understand the main principles. That is the reason for Part I of this book. A second step is to apply the principles to concrete prob lems as is done in Part II. There the community engaged in a particular line of activity is taken as the unit in Order that the geographical relationships may first be studied in relatively simple forms before going on to the more complex regional studies of Parts III and IV. In the regional chapters the aim is to give a clear conception of the way in which geographic conditions in?uence the products of a region, the capacity of the people, the direction in which their activities are turned, and the nature and extent of their business relations with other regions.
