The Geography of North America

HE appearance of Baulig's America, which has just been published,' is an event of outstanding importance to American geography. In this work the French school of geography has applied itself to the continent that interests us most. The result is a work that represents the full fruition of the regional method of modern geography. As regards other continents and major areas of the world this method has already borne choice fruit, as is attested by the other volumes in the series of which this work forms a part and by the number of excellent syntheses that have been produced by professional geographers since the beginning of the modern development of their subject about fifty or sixty years ago. Even as regards North America that development has yielded, as will presently appear, seven or eight works in four languages (three of them within the last three years) that meet the standards of modern regional exposition. But among these, by the amplitude of its canvas, the completeness and balance of its treatment, the penetration of the source material, and the quality and integrat on of its illustrations, Baulig's work stands supreme
