THE TROPICAL WORLD, IT’S SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND IT’S FUTURE STATUS

 Pierre Gourou, Longmans New Impression 1962.

159 pages, illustrated with diagrams and black and white photos. 12 chapters and an index cover such topics as, Density of Population, Unhealthiness of the Hot, Wet Regions, Consequences of the Characteristic Agriculture of the Tropics, Industrial Possibilities in Hot, Wet Lands, and Problems due to European Intervention in the Tropical World.

Apart from an ink name inscription at the top of the fep, together with another one ‘blanked out,’ and an occasional light pencil annotation, the book is in good condition and has benefited from a patterned plastic cover.
