rather, that humans use their culture "to make the environment useful." His prime examples are Switzerland and Holland, whose people, he believes, have been successful at becoming affluent despite environmental deficiencies. In this volume of the "Modern World Cultures" series, Pavlovic describes past events and existing conditions, then endorses the economic trends he feels necessary for a culture's success: the decline of agriculture and manufacturing, the establishment of a "tertiary" or service economy. ("Affluence is every culture's best medicine.") Further chapters briefly discuss the physical geography of Western Europe (former Soviet areas are excluded), its history, population trends, and modern life. Political and economic geography get a chapter each, with statistics made visible in several colorful maps. "Regional Geography" presents a simplified overview of specialized cultures in northern and southern Europe, while in the final chapter the author speculates on the future of a united Europe and issues Europeans will face. Though he is reluctant to accept global warming (qualifying its mention with "if, in fact, it is really happening"), he appears optimistic about peaceful cooperation, suggesting travel as the best way for readers to learn about distant places. |
