In revising A Basic Geo- graphical Library we have added new books from the gratifyingly large volume of relevant publications during the last four years, removed some older material, and moaerately expanded the number of items. The length of the list must be arbitrary, since an exha Aive list is not within present intention or possibility. The pressures felt by the t Mors are mostly for a longer list.The longer the list, however, the less information is implied about the desirability of any particular book. Only the users of the list can report on the ad- vantages of a longer or shorter bibliography. Essentially the bibliography islimited to published books and serialsthe staples of library acquisition.Individual articles and maps are not included. Pam- phlets of various descriptions have been omitted, though admittedly it is not always possible to distinguish a pamphlet from a book. In keeping with the purpose of the bibliography, books of recent date in English have been favored, though many books in foreign languages and older books, even though not currently available, have been included whei,; their subject or quality seemed needed. Current American editions have usually been cited when possible. Some coverage has been provided for fields peripheral to geography; the purpose is to include a selection of books needed for supporting geography rather than to develop those fields for themselves. Highly spe- cialized books have been avoided. This revision is the product of the work of a large number of people, just as was the 1966 edition. Their help is gratefully acknowledged. Without it the revision could not have been made. Requests for suggested changes were sent to more than 400 geographers chosen from the various fields; many responded with carefully con- n:i.lered lists that must have taken hours of work. The tentative list for each section was submitted to a consultant (some 30 in all) whose recommendations were care- fully weighed in making final selections. The pledge of anonymity to all these people precludes any identification. The form of this editionand the greater part of its substance represent the work of Martha Church, Robert Huke, and Wilbur Zelinsky, the panel in charge of the origi- nal edition.The more we worked on its remodeling, the more impressed we were with the structure of the house they fashioned. To our respective departments at San Fernando Valley State College, The Uni- versity of Oregon, and Michigan State University, and to our colleagues we owe many thanks for facilities, generous help and suggestions, and patience. Assistance in bib- liographic research, compiling, sorting, and typing vas provided principally by Bar- bara Bailey, LeRoy Barnett, Addie Binstock, Emily Dicken, Nancy Forbes, Ronald Garst, Janet Lawson, Lydia Lewthwaite, Ellen Rosenburg, and Marjorie Winters. Because of their keen help and good spirits, the impossible took only a little longer. Organization of the Entries Outline The contents of the bibliography are arranged into four principal parts: I. Gen- eral Aids and Sources;II.History, Ph;losophy, and Methods;III. Works Grouped by iii 4 Topic; and IV. Works Grouped by Region. Each part is subdivided into sections con- cerned with specific topics or regions. The sections are broken down into subsections as appropriate, in this general order: Bibliographies; Serials; Atlases; General; Special Subjects; Regions. Within each subsection books are arranged alphabetically by author. Cross-Listing Many books logically belong in more than one section, especially in the respec- tive sections of Parts III and IV. Each book is cited in a primary location. In any other sectionsit is identified by the section of its primary location and its serial identification number. The cross-listing is designed only to supplement the Table of Contents as a means of locatingotherbooks on a given subject. E.g., few items under. Soils are cross-listed under Agriculture because nearly everythingwould apply; items in Part I are seldom cross-listed because many are so general as to relate to a large number of other sections. The idea of cross-listing approximates at least one mig- gested definition of geography.It could be carried on ad infinitum, but the attzmpt has been to apply it where it can be useful. Anatomy of the Entry The entries are identified sequentially by numbers placed in the right-hand mar- gin.Underlined numbers refer to selections for two-year college libraries. (See paragraph by James R. Anderson on page v.) The contents are arranged in this orderinsofar as the information is obtainable or applicable: 1.Author(s), editor(s), compiler(s), or organization(s). The principal exception to this order occurs in the case of periodicals, which are usually identified by title. 2.Title; subtitle. 3.Translator and indication of original language. 4.Series. 5.Edition, when a second or later edition is cited. 6.Place of publication. 7. Publisher. 8. Date of publication. 9. Number of pages (normally the number identifiedwith Arabic numer- als in the book). 10.Number of volumes, if more than one. 11. Price (given when available for books in print; in some other cases, old prices have been givenasaguide to the outlay that may be neces- ary). 12.Librar of Congress or other catalog number. 13.Other important publication details. 14.Citation of paperback edition or reissue.
