Japan's Prospect
Strategies of American Water Management
Population, Natural Resources, and Technology
The developed and developing countries of the world may be divided roughly into four types: technology- source areas with high population-resource ratios; technology-source regions with low population-resource ratios; technology-deficient areas with high population-resource ratios; and technology-deficient areas with low population-resource ratios. The most critical problem of production is that of increasing food supply at the same or a greater …

Regional Research--Emerging Concepts and Techniques in the Field of Geography
I SHALL make no claims, in what I have to say, for the reservation of any special province in regional study for geography. Geography or any other field of research has claim to a place only in proportion to the number of ideas it produces and the results it records. If we have any need for security I would seek it not through the territory we can defend, but in the ground which we can break. Even though they lay no special claim to the region as…

The Koppen Classification of Climates in North America
T HE Koppen classification of climates has been criticized from various points of view. Some geographers regard it with suspicion because Koppen's climatic divisions now and then show pronounced discrepancies from phenomena of the natural and cultural landscapes. According to this point of view the value of a climatic classification is lost when its criteria are too rigid. As the present meteorological observations are inadequate for a purely qua…
Whaling and Whale Oil
Sequent Occupance of a Boston Suburban Community
are interesting as present-day adjustments to a New England metropolitan area, and their varied history makes them excellent subjects for a study in sequent occupance. One of the most typical of these towns is Concord, about twelve miles from the edge of metropolitan Boston. Its tributary area is notable not only for its size and fertility but also for the length of time that people have occupied it. Even in Indian days the soil here was tilled, …
Influences of Climate on the Cultivation of Citrus Fruits
HE widespread cultivation of citrus fruits, like that of other specialized horticultural products, is a modern phenomenon, dependent on a rich, concentrated market and fast transportation. Because the principal markets are the manufacturing areas of the north middle latitudes and because efficient refrigerated transportation from the tropics has been developed only recently, citrus fruits are cultivated as near the markets as possible. Most of th…
Depletion in New England Fisheries
NEW ENGLAND has been a pioneer in the much discussed regional planning movement. On the dossiers of the six New England state planning boards are studies and recommendations which have few rivals in their completeness. Newspapers, clubs, commissions, legislators-even the general public has distinguished itself in its aggressive, forward-looking attitude. There are New England plans for parks, highways, flood-control, power development, airways, m…
An Algerian Oasis Community
T VHE untravelled reader's concept of distant places usually errs optimistically. The popular picture of a Sea island is a familiar case in point, but no less widespread are the romantic conceptions of the desert oases of Africa and Arabia. Facile pens often contribute to the error. The literary oasis is a paradise of lush greenness, where nature is as bountiful as she is harsh and unyielding in the desert. To the wanderer on desert ways any gree…
