"The editors of this volume have presented eleven essays which indicate the practical scope of the geographer's approach to the day-to-day operation of human society. The subjects range from the geographer's studies of air pollution and its control, through a diversity of interrelated physical and human geographical fields, to the role of geographers in politics and political decision-making. ... This volume aims to demonstrate to students of geography the range of applications open to them, and at the same time to indicate to non-geographers the important potential of geographical techniques applied to evaluation and planning." .
