ABSTRACT
This volume by twenty American, British, and European geographers is an attempt to answer questions which are engaging the attention of all geographers. What are the salient features of our modern geography? What are we trying to accomplish? How have our ideas as to what are the important fields of our discipline changed during the last fifty years? How do our studies touch the fields of allied disciplines? Have America, Britain, France, Germany, and the Slav nations and even Canada produced special contributions, determined in part by the somewhat different problems which engage the attention of workers in these distinct national fields? Broadly speaking, are there different schools of geographic thought which cut across national boundaries to some degree?
