Exploring Agrodiversity
Small farmers are often viewed as engaging in wasteful practices that wreak ecological havoc. Exploring Agrodiversity sets the record straight: Small farmers are in fact ingenious and inventive and engage in a diverse range of land-management strategies, many of them resourcefully geared toward conserving resources, especially soil. They have shown considerable resilience in the face of major onslaughts against their way of life by outsiders and …

Intensification Revisited
Development and the Environment
THE IMPORTANCE OF considerations in the planning of development has only lately come to be recognized. International agencies are now putting considerable sums of money into environmental action plans and by so doing are enhancing the growth of awareness that the drive for development may have most unfortunate side-effects. Until recently, the and development debates have been parallel and have rarely intersected. Yet both arose in the 1960s out …

Pacific Market-Places
Pacific Market Places
Town and country meet and mingle in the urban produce markets of the Pacific region. From here economic forces operate to diffuse new forms of production and organisation throughout the region. These new forms are, however, superimposed on the traditional trading exchanges of the Pacific peoples; full understanding of them requires consideration of the whole social and economic environment, of trading practices and their economic motivation. This…

Questions on the Human Frontiers of Geography
N reading recent literature produced by human geographers who have carried out empirical research in alien societies, mainly in the tropics, one is drawn to ask a number of questions about human geography as a whole. A difference of approach is apparent between those who have an overtly chorographic purpose, who scarcely ever seek explanations in matters such as human behavior, attitudes and beliefs, social organization, and the characteristics a…

The Highland Peoples of New Guinea a Study of Distribution and Localization
Iiving between lat. 3?and lat. 70 S., at altitudes ranging from 4300 to nearly ^9000 feet in valleys of the central cordillera of New Guinea, are some 900,000 people of Neolithic culture whose existence has been discovered only in the present century. The central mountains are at almost all points difficult of access from the coast, and it was long believed that there was only a single, continuous range, with? out important intermontane valleys (…

Mauritius
A brief account is given of the demographic and economic history of Mauritius over the last century, and of the close interaction of these factors, and against this background the current situation is reviewed. A relatively static position of high birth and death rates has given way to one of rapid population increase, due in part to a temporary rise in the birth rate, but more especiall to the virtual eradication of the few diseases which had be…
The Distribution of Racial Groups in Durban
IN THE past seven years the Nationalist government of South Africa has made considerable progress with its program of apartheid legislation, designed to solve the problems of racial pluralism by a policy of separate development of the several groups. Recently the pace of this legislation has quickened, and earlier enactments are being translated into action. The impact of all this is felt chiefly in the cities, to whose problems the bulk of the l…
New Railroad and Port Developments in East and Central Africa
INCE 1945 the central and east territories have undergone an economic revolution. Their raw material exports have increased enormously, and all colonial governments have been concerned to develop their territories in order that they might contribute to the economic recovery of the West. These large developments have severely taxed the transport facilities of the continent, so that further development is inhibited in some areas by difficulties of …
