Abstract

The Study of Agricultural Geography: A Scholarly Guide and Bibliography by Thomas A. Rumney is reviewed. Rumney has produced an impressively complete bibliography of world agricultural geography, a task that would appear not to have been done before, and one that will undoubtedly prove useful to students and scholars for many years to come. This book will certainly be of use to students, giving them an idea of the range and diversity of geographic study as it relates to agriculture and offering a focused set of sources on, say, animal husbandry in California, or cropping patterns in Bulgaria, or irrigation in Pakistan. It will serve equally well as a starting point for further research or as a backstop for the more experienced scholar.
