Excerpt from The World About Us: A Study in Geographical Environment
The term 'geographical environment in relation to man, covers all those features of the land in which he lives, in respect of their effects upon his habit of life in whatever connexion. Such features include the relief of the land, whether it be plain, hilly, or mountainous; the nature of its soil, whether fertile or unfertile, well watered or dry; its position, whether insular or continental, and if continental whether coastal or inland; its relation to other lands surrounding it; its climate, vegetation, and mineral wealth. All such features influence man more or less in his social and political condition, in his economic activities, even in his mental and physical development. These influences are in many cases obvious - sometimes so obvious that their importance is apt to be overlooked for that very reason they are worth viewing systematically as a necessary part of the study not only of geography itself, but of history and economics. In other cases they are subtle and indirect, and there comes a point when they may be supposititious or at least incapable of reasoned proof as, for example, when it is attempted to assess the influence of climate upon character.
