Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Human Geography in Western Europe: A Study in Appreciation
This book contains a selection of the con tents of lectures and discussions in a class in Human Geography at Aberystwyth during the last ten years. In such Work as this every limitation of the Writer inevitably makes itself felt, and yet, as it is of the nature of an appreciation rather than of a professedly complete study, the personal note is a necessity. It may be said to be an early draft of an attempt to appreciate the genius loci of some of the human groups Which have become accustomed to live and act as such in Western Europe. It tries to visualise those groups with their varied racial elements making their several contributions Within each, While the group as a Whole in turn makes its cumulative contribution to What may become a community of civilisation. The effort is therefore made to study human experience in each region in concrete fashion, With attention directed continuously both to man and to his environment, and this, it is urged, is an essential task of the geographer.
