At the crossroads of geopolitics and physical science, A Geography of Europe: Including Asiatic U.S.S.R. presents a sweeping, authoritative survey of the European continent and its vast Soviet extension — a landmass that shaped the ideological and territorial struggles of the twentieth century. Edited by George W. Hoffman of the University of Texas and contributed to by an impressive roster of scholars from institutions including the University of London, McGill University, and George Washington University, this volume chronicles the physical, human, and economic geographies of Europe with rigorous academic precision, arguing that no understanding of the continent is complete without accounting for its Soviet periphery. The work stands as a landmark of mid-century geographic scholarship, illustrating the deep interconnection between landscape, politics, and culture across a region then divided by the Iron Curtain. Contributors such as Eric Fischer, Vincent H. Malmstrom, and Theodore Shabad bring both academic and journalistic expertise to bear, ensuring that each chapter is grounded in real-world observation as much as theoretical analysis. For students, researchers, and intellectually curious readers alike, this volume raises a question that remains provocative: where, exactly, does Europe end?
