Britain and the British Seas

....Mr. Mackinders admirable study of our islands comes in an opportune moment to show the general reader what a complex interesting and important science geography really ought to be.... -- The Spectator (book review) 1902Britain and the British Seas was originally published in 1902 by Halford Mackinder. He was the author of this first of a twelve-volume series on The Regions of the World and editor of the remaining volumes. The aim of each volume was to present a picture of the physical features and condition of a great natural region and to trace their influence upon human societies. Britain and the British Seas which included the first comprehensive geomorphology of the British Isles became one of Mackinders major works and a classic in regional geography.
