Economic Geography. By John McFarlane. (Sir Isaac, Pitman and Sons.

7s. 6d. net.)—Mr. McFarlane, who is a Lecturer in the University of Manchester, here gives us a book which deserves to be placed on the shelf beside Mr. Chisholm's well-known Handbook of Commercial Geography. Whilst it deals with the same material, it is written on different lines,- and is dominated by the theory of natural regions, to which the scientific study of geography is so deeply indebted.
