Lands Athwart the Nile
Over a period of many months, both before and since the abdication of King Farouk, responsible heads of government in Egypt have been voicing a claim to the entire Nile Basin, although practical measures to convert the claim into control have been pointed chiefly toward that part of the Basin included in the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan.It is the fashion nowadays, especially in the United States, to assume that river basins are coherent, nature-given uni…

The Impress of Effective Central Authority upon the Landscape
Political activities leave their impress upon the landscape, just as economic pursuits do. Many acts of government become apparent in the landscape only as phenomena of economic geography; others express themselves directly. Deep and widely ramified impress upon the landscape is stamped by the functioning of authority. By central authority is meant sovereignty over an area of marked diversity. To be the government must exert more than nominal con…

Nomadic Herding Regions
N XOMADIC herding is the dominant and almost exclusive mode of agricultural land occupance in a vast stretch of territory in Asia and Africa that makes up perhaps one-tenth of the earth's total land surface. That the very large area thus occupied is no true measure of the real importance of nomadic herding, however, is readily demonstrated by comparing a map showing the location and extent of this type of agriculture (Fig. 1) with maps of density…
Geographic Factors in the Relations of the United States and Cuba
Nearly a hundred years ago President John Quincy Adams wrote: . . . there are laws of political, as well as of physical gravitation; and if an apple, severed by the tempest from its native tree, cannot choose but fall to the ground, Cuba, forcibly disjoined from its own unnatural connexion with Spain, and incapable of self-support, can gravitate only towards the North American Union, which, by the same law of nature, cannot cast her off from its …

Strategic Geography of the British Empire
Geographic Provinces of Angola
No part of Africa has been so neglected by writers in English as Angola. This is natural, since the colony always has been Portuguese except for a short period of Dutch rule and since the inhabited sections are separated from British holdings by great stretches of unknown and difficult hunger country. Thus Colonel Statham's venture into this field with Through Angola, a Coming Colony is a novelty. Interested in hunting big game, the greater part …
