These vast acquired areas have not, as yet, all been "effectively occupied or even completely explored, far less developed, as to their resources." Dr. Keltie especially illustrates the practical purposes to which geography may be applied by chapters on the geography of Africa and the British Empire, with deductions as to the bearings of the geography of these regions upon their development. Brought up to date, the book renews its usefulness as a series of suggestions and examples relating to the practical side of geography, of much value to teachers and which all intelligent readers may peruse with profit.
PeerlessAlaska. Our Cache Near the Pole. By Charles Hallock. 324 pp., Illustrations by George G. Cantwell and 3 Appendices. Broadway Publishing Company, New York, 1908. Price, $1.25. The amount of reading matter is almost doubled by "single leads" between the lines. The information on all phases of Alaska is readably presented and based partly upon the author's own observations over twenty years ago and his selection of much more recent data secured chiefly by government explorers. Alaska is treated in its geography, economic aspects, opportunities for agricultural development, mineral wealth, commercial fisheries, fur and game animals, glacier fields, climatic phases, attractions for tourists, missionary enterprise, and present stage of development., The author shares the confidence of many writers that the timber resources will become a large source of wealth, and that hundreds of thousands of acres, tucked away in the folds of Alaskan mountains, will yet be turned into the richest of grain, hay, and grazing lands. The book is instructive but without map or index.
