BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTES
Among the most important general reference works one must mention the
chief encyclopaedias, Reclus's _Géographie universelle_
(also in English), the
_International Geography_,
the _Dictionnaire de Géographie universelle_ (V. de
S. Martin). Ratzel's _Anthropogeographie_
and Brunhes's _La Géographie humaine_
and _Géographie humaine de la France_
should also be mentioned here. Bowman,
_The New World_, has a fine collection of maps
relating to the political
resettlement of Europe.
On Race Questions the standard book is
W. Z. Ripley's famous work, _The
Races of Europe_, supplemented by
G. Sergi's _Europa_ in Italian and by a
number of papers by Keith, Parsons, Peake, Fleure,
and others in the _Journal
of the Royal Anthropological Institute_
during the last ten years. Dr. Haddon
and Mrs. Quiggin have issued a valuable
revision of Keane's _Man, Past and
Present_. Déchelette's _Archéologie_
is the standard work in its field and may
be supplemented from Burkitt's _Prehistory_
and Macalister's _Archaeology_.
On Languages and their Distribution the student may begin by consulting
A. Meillet's _Les Langues dans l'Europe nouvelle_
and L. Dominian on _Frontiers
of Language and Nationality in Europe_.
From these books a bibliography can
be compiled to suit the student's purpose.
The evolution of social conditions in Europe
is so complex that it has not
as yet received synthetic treatment,
but some tentative efforts are useful if
read critically. Among them one may note
the files of _La Science sociale_ and
Demolins's _Comment la route crée le type social_,
Guizot's _Histoire de la
Civilisation en Europe_, Kropotkin's _Mutual Aid_,
his _Fields, Factories, and Workshops_,
and his _Memoirs of a Revolutionist_,
as well as Jenks's works, such as the little
_History of Politics_, and Geddes's _Cities in Evolution_.
It is impossible to give an adequate list of books
on special regions, but the
following will be found of value for various parts
of the Continent involved in
the recent treaties:
P. Vidal de la Blache, _Tableau de la Géographie
de la France_; P. Vidal de
la Blache, _La France de l'Est_; R. Blanchard,
_La Flandre_; H. J. Mackinder,
_The Rhine_; _Atlas de Finlande_; P. Leroy Beaulieu,
_The Empire of the Tsars_;
A. B. Boswell, _Poland and the Poles_; J. Cvijic,
_La Péninsule balkanique_;
M. I. Newbigin, _Geographical Aspects
of Balkan Problems_; M. E. Durham,
{110}
_The Burden of the Balkans_; E. de Martonne,
_La Valachie_; A. Philippson,
_Das Mittelmeergebiet_; D. G. Hogarth, _The Nearer East_.
Further guidance to books on regions of Europe will be found in the
valuable handbooks issued by the British Government in two series,
i.e. the handbooks issued by the Intelligence Department
of the Admiralty, and
the handbooks issued by the Historical Section of the Foreign Office.
