Features: Humans began as savage beings and, to escape savagery, inevitably underwent a savage process. In the survival struggle of nature, the jungle principle of the strong devouring the weak is the normal state. The ruling creed of primitive human society was nothing but the supreme instinct for survival. "Human history is the history of hungry animals searching for food," and also the history of striving and fighting for it. This book mainly includes detailed content such as Human and Homeland, What is "Geography"? Our Earth: Characteristics, Laws, and Conditions, Maps: Navigating Through Mountains and Rivers, Earth Has Four Seasons, Continents in the Oceans, The Discovery of Europe, Greece: The Link Between Ancient Asia and Emerging Europe, Italy: A Maritime Power or a Continental Stronghold Shaped by Geography, Spain: Where Africa and Europe Meet, France: A Country of Everything, Belgium: A Nation Decided by a Few Pages of Documents, Luxembourg: A Victim of History, Switzerland: Four Ethnic Groups with Different Languages Living in Harmony, Germany: A Nation That Founded Too Late, Austria: A Nation Without Acclaim. The Home of Man discusses "geography," but it interprets the relationship between humans and the Earth from the perspective of a humanist, standing at the height of history—Earth is humanity's only home. The book is also accompanied by numerous exquisite illustrations drawn by A. de Jongh, helping readers better understand "A. de Jongh Geography."
