Full Description
First published in 1962, An Outline Geography of Africa gives a general geographical description of Africa. First the continent is dealt with as a whole from the physical and human standpoints, and then more detailed attention is given to the individual regions. Great care has been taken to see that the book is as far as possible abreast of contemporary economic and political events. Illustrations include a large number of specially drawn maps and diagrams and a number of photographs carefully chosen to illustrate various geographical points of interest. This textbook will be of interest to students of geography and African Studies.
