France: A Geographical, Social and Economic Survey

This book makes available to the English-speaking world the most authoritative single survey of the geography of France yet published. A translation from the fully-revised two-volume French edition of 1981, Professor Pinchemel's work embraces every aspect of the relationship between the social and the spatial in contemporary France, and provides the reader with a vast quantity of detailed information on specific geographical questions. The work is divided into eight parts, and within that overall structure each section is further sub-divided for ease of reference. The author's concern for clarity of exposition is reflected in the numerous tables, charts and diagrams that supplement the text. A new bibliography has been specially compiled for English readers.Pinchemel, Philippe is the author of 'France: A Geographical, Social and Economic Survey', published 1987 under ISBN 9780521249874 and ISBN 0521249872.
