About This Book

A comprehensive travel and cultural survey of the peninsula that combines physical geography, regional description, and economic observation. It maps mountain systems and river basins, explains climatic contrasts produced by the central plateau and varied coasts, and divides the country into six distinct districts, each with differing customs and industries. The author highlights difficulties in relying on official statistics because of smuggling and regional variation, and includes chapters on geology, mining, agriculture, and population, together with illustrative notes and practical information for readers interested in the country's physical features and social conditions.
