Africa
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…

Chad
Chad occupies 1.3 million square kilometers in Central Africa and has a population of 3.6 million. The population growth rate is about 2.1 percent annually and per capita gross national product (GNP) was an estimated US$80 in 1971. It lacks natural resources, social and economic infrastructure, and is burdened by high transport costs to the outside world. Its population is largely unschooled and untrained. Recent growth has been accompanied by wi…

The Evolution of the Major Ports of West Africa
IT has been written of Africa that 'foreign trade has been a decisive factor in the emergence of the exchange economy . .. has given rise to conditions favourable to the development of agriculture and local industries' (Neumark, 1964). A long period of colonial dependence resulted in the African economies displaying serious imbalance, both in being overwhelmingly dependent on the export of a limited range of primary products and in being oriented…

An English Traveller in the Siegerland
Thomas banfield was a traveller and a writer of some importance on economic matters,1 with practical experience of industry. In his 'Industry of the Rhine,'2 published in 1846 and 1848, he gives an account of the use made by man of the varied environments of the Rhinelands that is in the true spirit of human geography. His interest in economics enabled him to penetrate to the realities beneath the picturesque Rhineland landscape
