Handbook of Commercial Geography. By G. G. Chisholm. (Longmans. 25s.

net.)—Mr. Chisholm's familiar work, which first appeared a generation ago and has steadily grown and improved in successive editions, has now been thoroughly revised so as to incorporate the changes made by the War. He has deliberately, and on the whole wisely, abstained from giving post-War statistics in prices which fluctuate wildly from week to week. The pre-War figures, which appear in abundance, give a much truer view of trade movements. The book deals first with commodities and then with countries, followed by a statistical appendix. It contains numerous maps and dia- grams and an excellent index. It is by far the best book on a subject of ever-increasing importance and interest.
