Abstract

MODERN science has changed the size and shape of the earth. Time is the measure of its distances and routes the framework of its shape. London is nearer to New York' than to Kashgar, and the Pacific Ocean, once the limits of the Orient and Occident, is now becoming the strategic and economic centre of a new world based upon the universal ocean. The latest development is a bi-weekly service of motor cars across the French Sahara. The adjustment of human activities to physiographic conditions has been in progress from before the dawn of history, and human institutions have shown that they are no more permanent than the “everlasting” hills.
