Abstract
BEHIND the freshness of the writing and the sometimes almost casual treatment of a wide field there is evidence of extensive reading, a sympathetic understanding and not infrequently of an acute perception reminiscent of L. W. Lyde at his best. This is not a school book, nor is it an adequate university textbook, but it may be cordially recommended to all who have been accustomed to, and have perhaps tired of, the formal presentation of the facts of European geography and who seek a broader view in the understanding of current problems. Britain is excluded from consideration.
