Special attention has been paid in this book to the study of climate and to the use of maps. The methods adopted differ somewhat from those often employed. Instead of attempting to provide a condensed encyclopeadia of geographical information the author has selected the facts in the regional description of each country which seemed most typical of the physical conditions, and dealt with them in considerable detail. A full series of diagrams has been constructed to explain the text, but it must be remembered that it is impossible to show anything but skeleton maps on the small scale necessary for the pages of a text-book. Reference must constantly be made to larger scale maps, especially to orographical maps. The sketch maps showing relief and river basins are taken generally from maps showing relief and river basins are taken generally from the Diagram Hand maps (Philip and Son). This series of Orographically coloured maps (without names) is recommended for use in answering the questions.
