Excerpt from Geographical Essays on Eastern EuropeThis volume of essays began as a symposium on Eastern Europe, held at the annual meeting of the Association of Amer ican Geographers, at Dallas in April 1960. Three of the papers read at that meeting are published here, but unfortunately it did not prove possible to include a summary of points raised in the discussion, as no record was kept at the time. It was decided to supplement the original papers with papers invited from East ern Europe. Fortunately Doctors Kosinski, Kuklir'iski and Roglic' were able to accept the invitation to contribute. The editor wishes to express his appreciation of the helpfulness and consideration shown by the contributors and also of the invaluable assistance given him in preparing their contributions for the press by Mr. Theodore C. Myers, of the Department of Geography, Indiana University.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
