    What is geography? In the author's opinion, the geographical ideas, as a historical product, advance and evolve with the progress of epoch. Therefore, geographers should keep a dynamic view in recognizing the discipline they devoted to. As different countries have various historical, physical, social and economic conditions, their geographies are developed according to different models and tackle different problems. So, the development of geography also has areal differentiation among countries. Actually there is no one geography the world over. The author tries to verify his views by analysing the changes of the ancient, the modern and the contemporary geographies and the variances between the W. European, the N. American and the Soviet geographies. The ideas of "quantitative revolution", "theoretical revolution", regional science, Marxist geography, unified geography and the rejuvenation of regional geography are introduced in the paper.

    Selenium delficiency in human body is one of the reasons causing Keshan disease and Kaschin-Beck disease. Study on atmospheric affects on leaves is conductive to our overall understanding on transportation of Se in environment-living beings system. Since fuel combustion is the dominant source of Se in air, Se content in air can reflect air quality. Therefore this study is significant for air pollution either,Canadian Poplar leave samples were collected at both polluted urban and clean suburb in Beijing during period of leave sprout to fall In addition poplar and salix old-leave samples were collected from sites distributed from coast to inland representing urban, suburb and countryside. For Se content determination samples were analyzed by DAN fluorescence spectrophotometry after digested by HNO3-HClO4.Conclusions could be drawn as follows.1. These is a marked drop in leave Se content of poplar in the first twenty days, Afterwards, the Se content remains stable untill two months later when Se content rises gradually. There is a much higher increase in polluted urban than in clean suburb.2. In clean area, leave Se content generally ranges from 0.02-0.2 PPm in populus canadensis, 0.05-0.2PPm in salix. In polluted area, leave Se content can rise to 0.8 PPm in populus Canadensis and 1 PPm in sallix,3. poplar Se content is always lower in stem than in leaves. The stem Se content ranges from 0.01-0.07PPm.

    The contemporary colony of town names in the north China Plain is the continuation and progress on its historical foundations, the town names had the form of characters at least in the Shang Dynasty (17th-11th century B.C.) In the Qin and Han Dynasty (22lB, C.-A. D220), the primary geographical pattern of the colony and some principles of naming were found.d, A lot of county names were established during the Sui and Tang Dynast (A.D, 581-907). By the zin Dynasty (A.D 1115-1234), the colony had been enriched and perfected over the past. Dividing, merging, changing and removing of the place names continue from the founding of New China up to now,The growth of economic power and population is the foundation of the development of towns, therefore it is the main factor that influences the capacity and stability of the town names inside the colony. Not only the stability was strenthened, but also some of historical place names reappeared along with the economic development. Replacements of political power and military operations are immediate powers of speeding up the change in the place names. The effect of history and culture on people's minds, hence a lot of place nemes have born emotional colouring.The colony has clear features of district in distribution for it is restricted by the geograprical factors (especially the condition, of communicatiou). At present, along the railway from Beijing to Guangzhou, the Grand Canal and the highway from Beijing to Kaifeng to Huangchuan, the three lengthwise Chains which are formed of the town names have been takeng shape. The two crosswise chains are along the railways from Beijing to Qinhuangado and the other from lanzhou to Lianyungang. They are the important lines to control the geographical distribution of the town names inside the uhole region. By the citilization the towns would be crowded together on the former lines and put the new compositions into the colony. We must pay attention to it at laying down the long-term programme of towns distribution for this region.

    The exploitajon and recondition of area land must be carried out in order to obtain thorough understouding of land resources, Not only the evaluation of the individual resources but also that of the three great systems of resources of nature, society and economy is highly necessary.In order to have a further understanding of the features of macroscopic combination, it is also necessary to have a more comprehensive evaluation of land resources by dividing land separate areas, which, regarding the three great systems of natuer, society and economy as a whole, is carrieed out by using a comrehensive survey method.The thesis established the gwota system of the comprehensive evaluation on the basis of the division of areas of land resources and applied "Triangle Method" to eveluate the charocteristics of space combination of land resources within the areas,This provides a theoretical foundation for an overall clistribation of area production.

    Religion hase close relation with geography. Researches about religious geography have important significance for economical construction in China.Physical geographical environment is an important factor where religion is born.Because Human Knowledge in primitive society is in low level and difference of physical geographical environment, primitive gods religion is formed. Physical geographical environment influence on religious doctrine. Greed about heaven and hell, for example, is just like the winding mirror reflecting natural environment around human. Natural environmeot influences on the spread, development and existence of religion, religion reacts physical geographical environment too.Religion hase close relation with human geography.(1) religion influlnce on cultural landscape. In Christianity region, dominant landscape is Christian church; in region where prevails islam, mosque is important landscape, and in Buddhism region, temple and pagoda prevail. (2) Religion influence on regional distribution of human economical activities. It influences on regional distribution of corps and on composition of animal husbandry,promote development of tourism. (3)Religion influences on form and function of cities. Aatican, for example, hase only religious function, (4)Religion influences on changing of political map. Because of religion, India isdivided into India and Pakistan after world war II.Religion and development of geography, as believers go on a pilgrimage for Buddhist scriptures and religion be disseminated in vast extent by missionary and religious war,people knew geographical environment of other religion, religion stimulates development of geography.There are many religiones in our country. Economical significance of research of religious geography is as follow. (1) in some famous religious mountains and religious shrine,we develp religious tourism to promote development of regional service; (2) research of religious geography can provide a basis for adminstrative division and strategy of economical development in minority nationality regions; (3) study of religious difference can provide basis for making population policy in minority nationality regions. (4) study of religious difference in minority nationality regions fav our stability and unity to promote economical construction.

    From the viewpoint of soil genesis,some natures existing in the process of soil formation are discussed after expounding the important functions of organisms, especially plants in the process of soil formation, development and evolution. Thus it is proved that mobile sand dunes are only non-soil materials affected, by geological function or parent materials, but not soils. Onthe basis of above analysis, the formation, development and evolution direction of the soil on mobile sand dunes and its position and naming in soil classification are approached.

    The theories of growth pole and growth center are recently often debated in research of regional planning theory and practical work in China. The author discussesit in a systematic way and mainly on the four issues of the theories in this paper,(1) The basic concepts and the background of evolution of the theories,(2) The research of the effect of the growth pole and growth center. In this section the author introduces Mr, H,R.Richardson, J,Friedmann,G, Robinson and K.B.Salih's contribution on the mechanism of backwash effect and spread effect,(3) The result of the backwash effect and the spread effect; a spatial pattern.(4) The testification of the spatial effect of the growth pole and growth center. In this section, the author outlines the main view and methodogy of Mr, M, J,Moseley's work on the issue and points out that the inadequate positive effect to establish the growth pole and growth center is due to the limited influence of government's power in distributing industry in regional level in free market society.At last, the author discusses the theories application in typically centrally planned Countries, Such as the People's Republic of China.

    The publication of David Harvey's Explanation in geography symbolized the successes of the so called quantitative revolution in geography. This book has commomly and correctly been seen as a milestone in geographical thought. However, it was still strange for most Chinese geographers. In order to avoid the detours experienced by the quantitative movement in overseas geography, and in order to promote the theoretical construction of Chinese geography, it is necessary to introduce the book to Chinese geographers.This article analyses the philosophical and methodological context of Explanation in geography, describes its main contents and frameworks, evaluates its contributions to geographical methodology and criticizes a few of its shortcomings and mistakes.
