The World of the Arctic, by Frances C. Smith

few questions left unanswered regarding the precise objectives, methods, and results; even the usual reviewer’s task of evaluating the contribution is made largely superfluous by the author’s own critical assessments and suggestions for future research. The illustrations deal chiefly with landform types, but together with those appearing in previous publications from the same project, they provide an excellent pictorial record of the information. The work is pleasingly printed and bound, and only one small printing error could be detected. J. C. RITCHIE
