This book is for everyone with a personal or professional interest in the Empire State, an essential source of information for industry, commerce, government, development groups, state and local organizations, teachers, students, and present and prospective residents. Written by professionals in terms understandable to the layman, this book covers the physical, historical and economic geography of the state. "Geography of New York State" is unique among state geographies in the breadth of its coverage. Its first section examines the physical aspects of the state, region by region-its land forms, climate, water, vegetation, and soil. In the second section, the changing pattern of human occupation and use of the land is traced from earliest Indian days to the 1960's. A discussion of the state's economic activities makes up the third section. This is an informed, detailed analysis of each of the major economic sectors: agriculture, mining, lumbering, fishing; manufacturing and construction; sales and service. It examines their changing relative importance to the state's economy and provides a projection of future economic trends. In the fourth section the nature and potential of urban and rural areas are contrasted, and suggestions are made for rational planning and development regions. New York's seven major urban systems are given special attention in the fifth section of the book. Here, in separate chapters, are detailed studies of Albany-Schenectady, Binghamton, Buffalo, New York, Rochester, Syracuse, and Utica-their history, physical setting, economic activities, problems, and prospects for future growth. The final chapter of the book is perhaps its most provocative. In it the editor, John H. Thompson, looks forward to the year 2000, projecting to that date patterns of development and change now evident, and forecasting the possible future of New York State-its population, its use of the land, and its employment structure.
