| In this paper, the research methods of bibliography, sociology and history have been used by the author.Based on the statistical analysis of the geography translations published by the Commercial Press in 1958-2009, the geography translations were divided into three stages:the publication of regional geography translations, the publication of scattered geography translations and the publication of classified geography translations. Through the analysis, the author describes the features of the geography translations, and the status and role of the Commercial Press in the publication of geography translations.Through the research of the geography translations,the author also describes the relationship of the geography translations and the group of geographers, the geography translations and the dissemination of geographic thought.On the one hand, the Commercial Press provided a communication platform for the geographers and editors, and promoted the academic career of geographers and the formation of geographers group. On the other hand, the geography translations have promoted the spread of western geography in China, and also promoted the development of China's geography.As a publisher, the Commercial Press is the public space of geographers. The Commercial Press is the major publisher of the geography translations, and provides a wide space for the geographers. Therefore, the Commercial Press becomes a communication center for geographers.The network greatly promotes the establishment of the geography community and the development of geography.The Commercial Press and the group of geographers are closely interactive. First, the geography editing room of the Commercial Press is the link to contact geographers, and plays an important role in the geography community. Geographers linked together, and gradually formed a group of geographers. Second, the geography translations promote the communication of geographers. Through the joint translation of the geography translations, or cooperation to compile teaching materials, geographers have academic exchanges extensively. Young scholars ask the senior scholars in translation, and senior scholars will give support to youth, which also contributes to the communication of young scholars and senior scholars. Once again, the editors of geography editing room acts as the bridge between the geographers and the Press.The geography translations promoted the spread of western geography in China. On the one hand, the geography translations reflected the development of the western geographic thought.Other hand, the Commercial Press have introduced and published the outstanding books of geography to China.Through the publication of the geography translations, the western geographic thoughts were introduced into China, and promoted the diversification of China's geography research.Maybe the the one-hundred geography translations can't reflect the national picture of the geography translations or fully reflect the translation history and publishing history of this period. However,through the analysis of the geography translations, we can see one aspect of translation of western books, and find the status and role of the Commercial Press in the publication of the geography translations. The geography translations objectively reflects the communication history of western geographic thought.The translation and publication of western geography books, which is the academic acceptance of western geographic thought, has played an important role in the development of modern geography.
