Abstract
The authors of this volume aimed at compiling a complete handbook to the new state of the Czechoslovak republic and have published an English edition in the hope of spreading a knowledge of their country. There are chapters on the history, topography, population, political organisation, natural resources, industries, trade, transport, etc., with appendices of statistics and a well-printed, if rather small-scale coloured map. The notes on topography are very brief, covering scarcely two pages, while climate is dismissed in a few lines. More consideration of these fundamental aspects of the economic life of the country would enhance the value of the book.
