Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Greenland, Vol. 3: The Colonization of Greenland and Its History Until 1929
Of the 149 million kmz, which constitute the land surface of the earth, hardly more than two fifths are suitable for a white population. The climate of the tropics and the adjoining parts Of the subtropics is far too hot for European labour to assert itself, and in the case of more than two fifths of the land surface of the earth an effective exploitation by means of white labour is prevented by the excessive heat. Unfortunately it is in these very parts that nature Offers the richest possibilities for cultivation, but the exploitation of these natural resources will probably always be dependent upon the labour of non-european races. Round the Poles we have the arctic and the antarctic countries, constituting in all a little less than one fifth Of the land surface of the earth; here the means of existence are generally very poor.
