Geography, Yesterday and Tomorrow
This book commemorates the 150th anniversary of the Royal Geographical Society. The first part describes the considerable role played by the Society in the early development of geography as an academic subject in Britain. The second part consists of a series of articles by contributors distinguished in their various fields, surveying the recent progress made in each aspect of geographical study and research. Students and teachers of geography wil…

Regional Geography, Theory and Practice
There is only one region--the surface of the earth--on which mankind finds its home. Yet, although much effort is devoted by geographers towards the study of this diversified environment as a whole, it has long seemed necessary, by the methods of aespecial' or aeregional geography', to study its component parts. And although nature abhors lines, geographers might appear to adore them, so busily do they engage themselves in delimiting on their map…
On the Origin and Persistence of Error in Geography
Human error concerning the geography of the earth has been recurrent throughout historic time. Some kinds of error arise because of the problems of dealing with phenomena in the three-dimensional zone forming earth-space. The broad curvature of the earth, the sheer diversity of earth-space, and the patterns of change through time all form pitfalls for the geographer who is, thereby, liable to error in his descriptive analyses. The problems of pla…
Frontiers in Geographical Teaching
Since 1951 Cambridge University has used Madingley Hall for summer residential courses to bring teachers into contact with newest ideas in various professional fields. In 1963 RichardJ. Chorley and Peter Haggett, both then lecturers in geography at Cambridge, were directors of a course for geography teachers in training colleges, grammar schools, and similar institutions. In this book seventeen lectures given by fifteen British geographers are pu…

The Changing Patterns of Population in Sao Paulo State, Brazil
L OOSE attachment to the land is one of the persistent themes of Brazilian geography. For more than four centuries an economic system of destructive exploitation has continued to force the discovery of new resources to exploit or new products to bring wealth and has been reflected in population patterns of marked instability. As each new bonanza appears on the economic horizon, there is a rush to the territory that produces it; but this movement …

The Coffee Lands of Southeastern Brazil
UGAR, gold, and coffee have in turn ruled Brazil. Each of them dominated a period of history and was localized in a definite part of the country. One after another these products have supported settlement in new areas: first pioneer settlements; later, more elaborate and extensive settlements. But one after another the products have suffered a decline in importance, and with this decline has come a decadence of the settlements which were based on…

The Terminology of Regional Description
Words, whether they are technical ones or not, are valuable only as symbols standing for ideas or concepts. The demand for a technical term in any science arises from the sharpening' of mental concepts by specialists to such a degree that these concepts can no longer be expressed by the rather blunt words of a lay vocabulary. Vague word definitions are a serious handicap to sharp thinking. But the English language already contains a great abundan…

The Surface Configuration of Southeastern Brazil
The Surface Configuration of Southeastern Brazil
In southeastern Brazil we are dealing with a plateau near the rainy east-coast margins of the low latitudes. In structure, this plateau is composed of a variety of crystalline rocks forming a basement complex, overlain in part by a covering of sedimentary strata, and broken by a complicated system of faults. Stream dissection under tropical conditions of deep rock decomposition has proceeded apparently to the formation of several erosion levels, …

Industrial Development in Sao Paulo State, Brazil
stages of this process are similar to those which have characterized the development of the highly industrialized communities of Europe and North America. The process is being retarded by the poverty of the local market and by inadequate and expensive transportation, and is being aided by important capital investments and by various artificial devices such as tariffs and port surcharges. These conditions offer a partial interpretation of the curi…

On the Treatment of Surface Features in Regional Studies
The distinguishing feature of an adequate technique in modern geographical studies is the attempt to establish as accurately as possible on maps the distribution and space relations of the material facts of the landscape with which the study is preoccupied. Possibly no facts are more fundamental in such studies than the facts of surface configuration; yet a review of recent literature suggests that this element receives, in general, anything but …

Air Masses and Fronts in South America
THE extension of regular commercial air lines in Brazil, as in other parts of the world, has been accompanied by an important increase of meteorological knowledge. During the last five years the reorganized Brazilian Meteorological Service has been gathering data on weather conditions in terms of air masses and fronts. Its network of climatological stations is still far from adequate, especially in the vast interior, and the reports from outlying…
