Front Cover
Cambridge University Press, Jun 16, 2011 - Nature - 576 pages
Originally published in 1911, this book provides a detailed guide to African climate conditions. Intended to be a practical introduction, rather than a meteorological treatise, the text is notable for its use of clear language and a broad variety of statistical information. It contains four main sections, covering North Africa, Western Tropical Africa, Eastern Tropical Africa, and South Africa. Each section contains illustrative material, including tables, charts and maps. This is a highly organised and informative volume that will be of value to anyone with an interest in African geography and the development of physical geography in general.
