Excerpt from A Commercial Geography of the World of the World Influence of Climate and Relief on Commerce and Industry. Natural Regions. The foundation of a knowledge of commercial geography is a knowledge of the different Natural Regions of the World and their products. It is neces sary to know where different products are found, and why they are found there. Most products of plant and animal origin depend on the climate of a region. The contrast between the rich vegetation of the hot wet equatorial forest and the bareness of the hot dry desert of the Sahara, or of the icy desert of the polar regions is obvious. On climate depend the distribution of natural vegetation and (in part) of animals in the natural state, and also the ability of man to cultivate certain plants or domesticate certain animals in certain regions. In connexion with climate there have to be considered physical features. The study of land-forms bears not only upon the questions of distribution above mentioned, but especially upon the means of transport. Climate and weather affect also transport, especially by sea. The direction, variability, and strength of the winds determine certain routes, especially of sailing Ships. Even on land if the climate is too dry it may be difficult for man to supply himself, his beast of burden or his railway locomotive, with water. The distribution of mineral products does not depend on climate, but man's ability to work a mineral deposit profitably is often dependent on it. For instance, we Shall see how difficult.

Excerpt from Commercial Geography The object of this text is the exposition of the principles of commercial geography as based on a knowledge of its more im portant facts. It is regarded as necessary and advantageous to treat products and regions in a single volume, if perspective is observed and if both products and regions are made contributory to the unfolding of principles. To this end minor commodities and regions must surrender their place to facts of larger meaning. Part I offers an inductive approach to principles which are formally stated in Chapter VI. The author holds it wise to avoid an introductory statement of abstract relations, and has therefore chosen five products or staples of world-wide interest, treating them broadly as world products and as typical of all others in the geographic principles involved. No materials of commerce are more significant in themselves, or in their relations, than wheat, cotton, cattle, iron, and coal.

Excerpt from A Brief Commercial Geography There can be no doubt of the fact, if We are to be consistent with our interpretation of geography as expressed in the preceding volume of this series, that the main feature of the geography study in the last class of the elementary school is the commercial phase. The trade of the world, including as does practically all the activities of the human race, is of a scope tremendous in its meaning. Only by a study of it can the relation of the human species to its natural environment be appreciated. In it is involved the greatest of all geograph ical causal relations. The student should be brought to feel the rivalry and interplay of nations in this greatest of all games, the constant struggle for a goodly and increasing portion of international commerce.

Excerpt from Commercial Geography of the World Outside the British Isles This book, while a continuation of the Commercial Geography of the British Isles published in 1899, is so arranged that it may be used independently, or even before it Like the earlier work, it is based on lectures delivered for the Owens College and the Geographical Society in Manchester, and at the Heriot-Watt College, Edinburgh. The lectures have been rewritten in book form, taking into account recent economic developments. As far as possible the writer has attempted to interpret as well as to record the most important geographical phenomena of economic significance. The aim both of student and of teacher should be not merely to acquire facts but to correlate them, not to be a gazetteer but a geographer. In this short book it is impossible to treat the economic geography of every country in an exhaustive manner. Nor is it necessary. It is not important that the beginner should know all about every country. It is important that he should know the main facts about the most important and typical countries, and accordingly certain countries have been chosen for fuller treatment Having thoroughly mastered the facts for one type of country, the student finds it easy to treat similar but unknown countries in like manner from the larger geographical and statistical hand-books. This personal compiling of economic geography of different countries by the student should be a marked feature in all advanced classes. The book is divided into two parts - (1) General; (2) Regional A word may be said about the arrangement of the regional descriptions. An attempt has been made to arrange the British lands beyond the seas so as to secure some educational continuity, which is lacking in the order of treatment usually adopted The temperate states, which most resemble in their conditions those of the British Isles, are taken first, and the tropical lands last.

Excerpt from Handbook of Commercial Geography Preparations for a ninth edition were begun in 1913, and were nearly completed when the war broke out. This expression, the war, ' n'ow recurs again and again in the text, and one can only hope that the war referred to will prove to be such an unmistakable epoch in history as to leave no doubt as to what war is meant. When war was declared, both the publishers and I agreed that it would be altogether inopportune to publish a work of the scope of the present when the geography of almost the entire world was about to be upset. Publication was accordingly postponed till after the conclusion of the principal peace treaties. All the time, however, preparations for the new edition were going on, and the work now appears in a form more completely recast than any previous edition. The resetting of the entire book and the re numbering of the paragraphs have allowed of interpolations and rear rangements of matter on a much greater scale than ever before. The introductory matter of the fourth and eighth editions has been put in its proper place in the text, and subjects that seemed to me to require further elucidation have been dealt with at greater length. Such additions are scattered throughout the book, but the principal additions are under Climate (with new illustrative maps), Commercial and Industrial Towns, Coal, and The British Isles. It is this last section that has been most considerably extended, but not so much by the addition of new matter as by the incorporation of matter previously in one or other of the introductions. Notwithstanding the delay in publication, the work is still issued to an unsettled world, and one of which the settlement on a basis allowing of a new period of orderly evolution seems still remote. Comparisons under the head of value between pre-war and post-war conditions seem to me to be hardly ever possible, and for that reason no average values are given in this edition for periods subsequent to 1913, or the fiscal year 1913 - 14, where the fiscal does not correspond with the calendar year. International values have of course a meaning in individual transactions, but in present conditions I can attach no meaning to average values for any period comparable with those of pre-war periods, and therefore I do not choose to encumber my pages with data of which I cannot myself discern the use. It is doubtful, indeed, whether we shall ever be able to get such figures. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Industrial and Commercial Geography A group of people can only prosper, increase and grow powerful when their environment furnishes them an abundance of food and of materials for making appliances to supply the other necessities of existence. Examine them as we may, we find that every want of man, whether Eskimo or banker, is a desire for one of these six classes of goods: food, clothes, house or shelter, fuel, luxuries, and tools and materials of industry which enable him to produce and handle the others. So nearly universal are these wants that practically all men have all six classes of goods. Even savages have luxuries in the form of toys, ornaments, and musical instruments. All these materials for a living come directly or indirectly out of the soil or crust of the earth. The man in a ship at sea or in a steel sky-scraper in a modern city gets his sustenance from the soil just as surely as does the farmer who takes potatoes from the furrow. Each particular method by which a man gets some useful commodity leads to an industry Often of world wide distribution. To understand the way the human race turns the earth into its home, we have but to study the various industries by which groups of men achieve their living.
