Examines the ways that location and physical characteristics of natural resources affect trade dominance, economic development and underdevelopment, and the historical formation of the capitalist world economy. A theoretically innovative and historically grounded work that will be a standard point of reference for years to come. - Dale Tomich, State University of New York, Binghamton


There is much to merit to the authors' contribution. -- Pierre Desrochers Historical Geography 2007
