The Present Book, As Originally Planned Over Seven Years Ago, Was To Be
A Simplified Paraphrase Or Restatement Of the Principles Embodied In
Friedrich Ratzel'S _Anthropo-Geographie_. The German Work Is Difficult
Reading even For Germans. To Most English And American Students Of
Geographic Environment It Is A Closed Book, A Treasure-House Bolted And
Barred. Ratzel Himself Realized "That Any English Form Could Not Be A
Literal Translation, But Must Be Adapted To The Anglo-Celtic And
Especially To The Anglo-American Mind." The Writer Undertook, With
Ratzel'S Approval, To Make Such An Adapted Restatement Of the
Principles, With A View To Making them Pass Current Where They Are Now
Unknown. But The Initial Stages Of the Work Revealed The Necessity Of a
Radical Modification Of the Original Plan.
