The
innovative methodological approach of this book entails
a systematic endeavour at the synthesis of scattered
references and fragments of data and information,
their minute and indepth examination and analysis,
and possible meaningful interpretation of mystic explanations
of spatial phenomena and processes, together with
a vivid picture of the contemporary life-style with
its spectacular diversity in all its richness and
ramifications.
The work is divided into two parts- Physical Geography,
and Human and Economic Geography. The topics covered
are- Cosmography and Cosmology; Directions; Seasons,
Weather and Climate; The Face of the Land; Flora;
Fauna; Minerals; Realms; Peoples and Dietary System;
Occupational Structure; Human Settlements and Dwellings;
Observations and Conclusion.
