Africa: A Geographical Study
First published in 1965, Africa provides a geographical, political, economic and social description of the continent. Contemporary Africa is a continent of change and revolutions. The diversity and limitations of the African environment gives us a fuller understanding of the explosive dynamism of the African economic and social scene. This book will be of interest to students of geography, economy, anthropology and political science.
Africa: Geography and Development
First published in 1988, Africa examines the varied pattern of development in the continent, the progress and the disappointments experienced, and the prospects. This picture is set firmly within the frame of the continent’s geography. From a general synthesis, the books moves to a country by country analysis of the interdependence of geography and economic development. The authors’ analysis of the effects of varied development strategies in Afri…

Madagascar and the Mascarene Islands
The existence of the magnificent harbour of Antseranana was the reason for British invasion of the island in the Second World War, to prevent this strategically valuable base from falling into Japanese hands, for the local government of Madagascar sided with Vichy France. The present population numbers 6 million, of whom 98 percent are Malgache. The eastern two-thirds of the island, including the highlands, consist of Pre-Cambrian igneous and met…

The Sahara
The Sahara is the world’s largest desert and gets its name from the Arab word Sahra. It extends from the Atlantic to the Red Sea, at its maximum almost 5000 km; from north to south it varies between 1300 and 1600 km. Politically the Sahara is much divided, originally by the major powers who occupied and pacified it from their colonial territories to north and south, now by their independent successors: Morocco, Algeria, Libya, Chad, Niger, Mali, …
Libya
Libya came into being as a kingdom in December 1951, when the three distinct territories of Tripolitania, Cyrenaica and the Fezzan under United Nations auspices were united under one king. Libya is a desert country of 1,750,000 km 2 ; maritime influences touch only a small northern fringe, giving some mitigation from the fierce heat. The Libyan landscape is of tabular formation, the product of faulting and differential erosion, and is very differ…

An African Labour Force
The Kampala factory of the East African Tobacco Company was built in 1937 and acquired by its present owners in 1948. It has in the past employed as many as 900 men. Since 1948, however, the number of employees has been gradually reduced to about 600 whilst at the same time output has increased
Worlds without end
The series of papers on the origin and meaning of the term 'Third World' so felicitously begun by Leslie Wolf-Phillips' has sparked off robust and erudite academic skirmishing of an international character. Let us now summarise the discussion so far and note that it has clarified a number of issues but has raised others, the most fundamental of which is the utility of such a term. What seems important today is not to discover who coined a phrase …

Industrialization and under-Developed Countries
The Development of Industry in Egypt
Egypt stems from several factors-political, economic, and demographic-and has taken place substantially within the last 20 years. The demographic factor is perhaps the allimportant one, for the spur of population pressure has become sharper during this time. Egyptian population, now over 19 millions, is increasing at a rate of almost 2 per cent per annum, but her agricultural land is severely restricted by the sterile deserts flanking the Nile Va…

The Suez Canal at Mid-Century
ECENT events have served to establish very clearly the significant influence of the Suez Canal on the economies of many nations, particularly those of Western Europe. Though the value and international character of the waterway have long been recognized, the notable changes in the volume, nature, and origin of flow of the Canal traffic since the war are not generally appreciated. It is the purpose of this paper, by an analysis of statistics, main…

Africa: Geography and Development
Industrialization and Underdeveloped Countries
The volume of relevant research and literature on this topic is growing but originates mainly from economists, sociologists, and political scientists; geographers have been slow to make contributions. One reason may be that geographers have been preoccupied with differentiation within the geography of production whereas this new field directs attention to the geography of consumption and a study of economies. This book aims to focus attention on …
