Abstract
THE first half of Prof. Trewartha's book is devoted to the physical bases of weather and climate. While this contains a considerable amount of information, it cannot be regarded as free from errors, and so is perhaps not the perfect introduction to the second part of the book, which deals with the classification of climates in accordance with a scheme which is a slight variant of the Köppen classification. The second part of the book is clearly written, and can be recommended as an introduction to the longer treatises on the subject.
