Abstract

Bowman's Andes of Southern Peru
August 23, 1917 issue

add to cart   close window

The article discusses the book "The Andes of Southern Peru," by Isaiah Bowman. Some scientific organizations, like the Geological Society of America, spring at once into vigorous life. Others have a more demure beginning and outlive their founders before developing an aggressive activity. Of such is the American Geographical Society of New York, which is only now entering upon a period of vigorous growth after three-score years of cautious and dignified, not to say solemn, existence.
