Description and Table of Contents

Description

This 5-volume Encyclopedia (translated from an Italian work) presents a unique interpretation of geography - horizontally, including physical, anthropographic, and cultural aspects of each continent. Each volume focuses on a different continent and the approach is thematic rather than alphabetical. The purpose of the work is to consider geography according to the combination of factors that tie humans to their environment.
