Shaffer, N. Manfred : The Competitive Position of the Port of Durban

(Evanston: Department of Geography, Northwestern University, 1965)

Loosely inserted typescript review of the book. 228 x 152 mm; pictorial wrappers; pp. xiii + (i) + 261; maps and tables. Wrappers rather foxed, rubbed and sunned; archival tape strengthening to spine and upper hinge; earlier owner's name signed on title page and inside wrappers; edges quite foxed, occasional fox spot elsewhere. Good. 'This book is an elaboration of an unpublished Ph.D. dissertation which was submitted to the Department of Geography of the Columbia University in 1963. The study is concerned mainly with an interpretation of the development, problems and the potentialities of Durban as the major gateway for the traffic of Southern Africa, and seeks to analyse the complex of human and physical factors contributory to the enhancement or deterioration of Durban's position, vis-à-vis, the other ports of "South-East Africa". ... The Competitive Position of the Port of Durban is a valuable contribution to the Economic Geography of Southern Africa, and is highly recommended as an aid to the understanding of the problems related to the complex transportation system of this country.' - From the loosely inserted book review.
