About the Author: 

Wilfred George Moore (1907–1995) was a British geographer and author known for his contributions to geographical literature. Educated at Burton-on-Trent Grammar School and later at London University, Moore spent much of his career teaching, lecturing, and writing on various geographical topics. He served in the Royal Air Force during World War II, where he was commissioned in the meteorological branch and spent time in Iraq, Persia, and the Middle East. After the war, Moore continued his academic pursuits and authored several works, including A Dictionary of Geography and The World's Wealth. His writings often aimed to make geographical knowledge accessible to a broader audience.
