About This Book

A comprehensive geographical survey of Europe that combines physical description and human geography, addressing topography, climate, coasts, hydrology, flora and fauna, and patterns of settlement. It offers regional studies of the Mediterranean and of areas such as Greece, Turkey in Europe, the Danubian lands, Italy, Spain, and Portugal, detailing soils, resources, transport, commerce, and administrative divisions. Numerous maps, plates, and statistical observations accompany discussions of ethnography, economic activity, fisheries, and navigation, while concluding reflections consider contemporary conditions and prospects for development across the continent.
