Environmentalism Versus Geography
Natural environment is important, though not in the simple way that environmentalism seems to indicate. The study of geography implies no prejudice in favor of natural environment as a causative factor. Geographers can no more afford to be chronically biased in favor of this set of features than other social scientists can afford to be biased in favor of a contrary set. Scholars all look at the same world, and their views should ultimately fit to…

Mining Patterns of Occupance in Five South American Districts
T . nHIS study is a sequel to one on a copper mining pattern of occupance in Michigan.' That previous report had a background of intensive field study. This by contrast is based on rapid reconnaissance, during a visit of one day in each district. These mines are not discussed by regions. In general mining occupies few and peculiar spots untypical of large areas, and is not carried on by regional methods but under a world-wide technique, emanating…

Coffee Plantations of Brazil: A Comparison of Occupance Patterns in Established and Frontier Areas
The form of the coffee region reflects the advance of a frontier.1 A century and a half ago coffee was an experimental crop on coastal lowlands near Rio de Janeiro and Santos, narrowly confined between the sea and the escarpment of the Serra do Mar. Then, leaping the first mountain barrier, whose rugged seaward slope is still forest clad and unproductive, coffee began to flourish in the more congenial trough back of the coast range, particularly …

Six Farms in the Central Andes
possessing within the tropics both highlands and lowlands favorable for civilized development. In southern Peru not only does human settlement attain its greatest altitudinal range, but there exist in close contiguity populous communities of real significance in the life of the country both at low and at high altitudes. This paper is a record of five reconnaissance field studies in communities at different elevations (Fig. SOUTHERN PERU, LOCATION…
South Range, Keweenaw Copper Country: A Mining Pattern of Land Occupancy
An Air Traverse of Central America
A reconnaissance traverse of Central America from Mexico to Colombia was made in five days of January 1933 (Fig. 1). The project was a by-product of a field trip in the northern Andes and was carried out en route to the field in regular planes on air lines.' The traverse had a twofold purpose: first, to test possibilities and limitations of reconnaissance under such circumstances and to consider appropriate technique ; secondly, to gather inew l …
