Complete and unabridged, with 60 full-page plates by Willem van de Velde the Younger, Willem van de Velde the Elder and Ludolf Bakhuizen. Where the world's goods come from and how they move: wheat, cotton, coal, iron, rubber and the railways, canals and ports that carry them, taught as a subject in its own right. Redway wrote it for American high schools in 1903, when commercial geography was a new discipline. It is a snapshot of the world economy on the eve of the century that rearranged it. Its 93 original illustrations have been carefully restored and coloured for this edition.
