Sourcebook of Commercial Geography

Commercial geography investigates the spatial characteristics of trade and transactions in terms of their cause, nature, origin and destination. It leans on the analysis of contracts and transactions. From a simple commercial transaction involving an individual purchasing a product at a store, to the complex network of transactions maintained between a multinational corporation and its suppliers, the scale and scope of commercial geography varies significantly. Trade, in terms of its origins and destinations, has a spatial logic. Through out the volume, explanation is closely linked with exemplification by reference to real situations. This book has over all covered all necessary topics. Contents: Introduction . The Trade Routes . Rural Economy . Our Changing Environment and Industry . Fisheries Industries . The Animal Industry . Natural Resource Aspects of Sustainable Development . The Process of Urban Development.
