Based on the premise that civilizations are the product of their environment the author looks at cultures of the desert, the tundra and ice, then to the civilizations of alluvial flood plains, the highlands, maritime civilizations, and finally civilizations of travel, migration and expansion. This is a work of massive cross referencing, the effect being to suggest that civilization can happen anywhere, that no one environment is uniquely conducive, or that no one race or people are more productive than another.
