This book covers many topics that are crucial to military planning but often receive only passing mention in histories or briefings. Collins, a former Army officer, stresses land geography, but he does not stint oceans, the atmosphere, or interplanetary space. His discussions of urban areas are too brief, given the increasing amount of large-scale violence in cities since the end of World War II.

Excerpt from Military Geography for Professionals and the Public The dearth of consolidated studies on the discipline of military geography came to John Collins' attention early in his long and distinguished career as a soldier and scholar. Thus he began and kept up an interest in the subject for more than 40 years, amassing voluminous files on the subject. Finally afforded the opportunity to research and write on his avocation at the National Defense University, he spent 2 years as a Visiting Fellow, tapping not only his own wealth of data and experience but a wide variety of well-informed opinions on every facet of military geography. The resultant volume, the culmination of a life-long career, fills a gap in the professional and technical literature. The National Defense University is pleased to have hosted John Collins and to publish his work. No other book, to our knowledge, marries military art with that of the geographer so deftly and completely. The volume seems destined to meet its stated purposes for years to come, namely, to provide a textbook for students, a handbook for military professionals, and an enlightening survey for any appreciative lay reader.

When the Adjutant General's Office published Raphael Thian's "notes" on U.S. military geography in 1880, it produced an invaluable research tool for generations of military historians to come. In this single documented reference volume, Chief Clerk Thian traced the confusing mutations through which the divisions, departments, and districts of the Army's command had evolved since 1813. The volume is divided into three parts, beginning with the names of the United States Army Continental Commands, the date and authority for their creation, location of the headquarters, geographical changes and discontinuances, and other details including the geographical boundaries embracing each division, department, and district. Part II is filled with background information on states and territories, and Part III lists the maps contained in The Military Atlas of the United States. The Addenda to this edition expand and update Thian's work. Notes made by Francis B. Heitman to keep his personal copy current are included, as is the Memorandum published by the government in 1906. This addition lists all changes from 1898 through 1905.

Excerpt from Military Geology and Topography: A Presentation of Certain Phases of Geology, Geography and Topography for Military Purposes The organization of Students' Army Training Corps in American educational institutions involves a readjustment of courses of instruction. The extent to which the modification of existing courses and the introduction of new courses is desirable has been indicated in a circular transmitted to colleges and universities by the Committee on Education and Special Training of the War Department. This circular includes the statement: "The branches of earth science which contribute most directly to military needs are Military Geology and Geography including Meteorology and Military Mapping," and recommends that some course or courses covering these topics be offered in each institution where geology or geography is taught. This action was taken because the Great War has demonstrated the desirability of more widely diffused knowledge of geology as an aid in conducting military operations and in the solution of economic problems relating to raw materials. In response to many requests for guidance in the presentation of the courses which were called for by the Committee of the War Department, the National Research Council through its Division of Geology and Geography has prepared Military Geology and Topography, Introductory Meteorology and a syllabus on the Geography of Europe as text books for students. In the preparation of Military Geology the following have collaborated: Professor Nevin M. Fenneman, University of Cincinnati; Professor C. P. Berkey, Dr. A. K. Lobcck, and Dr. Frederick Morris, Columbia University; Professor W. W. Atwood and Professor J. B. Woodworth, Harvard University; Professor H. L. Fairchild, University of Rochester; Dr. Willis T. Lee, Dr. T. Wayland Vaughan, O. E. Mcinzcr, and P. S. Smith, United States Geological Survey; Dr. J. E. Spurr, United States Bureau of Mines; Professor H. F. Cleland, Williams College; Professor C. K. Leith and Professor W. J. Mead, University of Wisconsin; Professor W. E. Ford, Professor Herbert E. Gregory, and Dr. George E. Nichols, Yale University. Valuable criticism has been received from M. R. Campbell, N. C. Grover, J. C. Hoyt, B. H. Lane, J. L. Ridgway, and G. M. Wood of the United States Geological Survey, and from others whose duties in connection with the war prevented fuller participation.
