Illustrated map endpapers, maps, photographs, black and white and color plates, index. The corners are lightly bumped. "Like all things which have grown naturally, and through a long period of time, the British Commonwealth and Empire has the complicated organisation of life rather than the clear-cut structure of an abstract plan. It coheres round a centre of gravity and it is this centre of gravity which is the most important thing about it and which is indicated by the apparently simple word 'British'" - from the Introduction. Locale: Africa; British Commonwealth; British Empire; Canada; India. (Travel/Adventure, Adventure and Adventurers, Description and Travel, Travel).
