Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Geography of the British Isles In this Series I have tried to embody the experience of a teacher and of an examiner. This experience has led me to several conclusions, which will, I believe, be confirmed by most practical teachers who are interested in Geography as a subject of real educational value: - 1. That map in text-books cannot generally be used directly with the text, as it is impracticable to hare the book open in more than one place at a time; bat that their presence in books has led to a regrettable neglect of the Atlas. 2. That an excessive variety of type and other mechanical devices for classification confuse the average pupil. 3. That most text-books contain much which would be better learned from the Atlas, or which is only an unnecessary tax on the memory. Consequently, this Series contains no maps and little variety of type; and I have intentionally avoided mentioning, e.g. exact heights, distances or sizes, small industries, and unimportant places. Wherever any definite comparisons are made, they are intended only for reference, and not to be learnt. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pictorial Geographical Readers: The British Isles Let us look at the Globe and try to find out the British Isles. There they are, two little patches of red in the blue ocean. The larger patch is called Great Britain, the smaller patch Ireland. The northern part of Great Britain is known as Scotland the southern part is called England, and the western part Wales. Great Britain, Ireland and the adjacent islands make up the British Isles. There are many other red patches on the globe. They represent countries which form part of the British Empire. Look at that large square with the little dark square in the corner. The small square represents the size of the British Isles, the large square the size of the British Empire. If you measure them, you will find that the British Empire is over eighty times as large as the British Isles.

Download or read book Commercial Geography of the British Isles Classic Reprint written by Andrew John Herbertson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-08-30 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Commercial Geography of the British Isles The occupations of men, therefore, have a natural distribution. On the coast they become fishers, sailors, or traders; on the plains, farmers; on the hills, shepherds; while mining and other industries depend ing upon coal and iron spring up where these sources of natural wealth are available. Looking at a physical map of the British Isles, the south-east of Great Britain and the centre of Ireland are seen to be plains; the northern half of Great Britain and all the west and the corners of Ireland are generally mountainous, with plains of small extent. The south-east and east of Great Britain, therefore, are mainly agricultural, and the west mainly pastoral. Agriculture is more developed in Ireland on the central plain than in the mountains to the north west and south, but cattle-rearing is everywhere more important than the cultivation of the soil. This is largely due to the heavy rains, an illustration of the fact that climate as well as relief helps to deter mine the nature and distribution of occupations.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Home-Lands: A Regional Study of the Geography of the British Isles When the great Roman general, Julius Caesar, came and saw and conquered our island, there was living in Rome another famous man named Virgil. He was not a soldier, but a poet, and is often spoken of as the Prince of the Latin Poets. In one of his books, Virgil wrote of the island that Caesar had conquered, and said that it was remote from the world. At that time, two thousand years ago, there were far fewer people in the world than there are now. The great nations who made up the Old World of people lived around the Mediterranean, or Middle Sea. They believed that the earth was flat; they knew nothing of the New World of America, or of the great land we call Australia they knew very little of the continent of Africa.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Building of the British Isles: Being a History of the Construction and Geographical Evolution of the British Region Geographical Evolution - The Object of this volume is to treat the geological history Of the British Islands from a geotectonic and geographic point Of view, that is to say, to deal with the physical conditions under which the successive rock-groups were formed; the rocks themselves being described only so far as is necessary for ascertaining whence their component materials were derived, in order to form some conception of the relative position Of land and water during each Of the successive periods of geological time. The existing geographical and physical contours of the British Islands are the outcome of the long and varied geological history pertaining to this particular part of the world. There are few other regions of the earth's surface which in so small an area exhibit so many different systems of rocks as are to be found in the British Islands. England alone includes portions of nearly all the rock-systems which are found on the continent of Europe. Each Of these rock-groups was formed during the maintenance of certain physical and geographical conditions which were different from the conditions both Of the preceding and of the subsequent periods. When, therefore, we are able to form some definite conception of the geography of the British region during one particular period Of past time, we are restoring one phase in the geographical evolution of our islands.

Download or read book The British Isles Classic Reprint written by G. F. Bosworth and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-07 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The British Isles The amount of land and water on the surface of the earth is by no means equal. The area of the water is about two and a half times the area Of the land, or, putting it another way, two-sevenths of the earth's sur face is land, while the sea occupies five-sevenths of the surface. The arrangement Of the land and water is peculiar. Look at a map of the Northern and the Southern Hemispheres. There is plainly far more land in the Northern Hemisphere. The Southern Hemisphere is mainly water. Careful measurements would Show that there is actually thirteen times more land in the Northern than in the Southern Hemisphere. There is another very strange thing about the arrange ment of the land and water on the face of the earth that you would never guess at first sight. The antipodes of a piece of land is practically always a piece of water. Thus on the opposite side of the globe from North America is the Indian Ocean, Australia is the antipodes of the North Atlantic Ocean, Europe and Africa are exactly opposite the Pacific Ocean, there is an ocean at the North Pole but a continent exactly opposite at the South Pole. This curious result has not come about merely by chance, but the explanation is too difficult for young scholars. The land surface of the earth is not smooth, but is ridged and wrinkled in certain parts, and the wrinkles are called mountain chains. The greatest mountain system in the world stretches under many different names from the west Of Europe to the east of Asia. It begins in the Pyrenees, and continues in the Alps, the Caucasus, the Persian mountains, and the Himalaya.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The World and Its People: A New Series of Geography Readers 1. Last year we studied the geography of our own country, England and Wales. This year we shall cross the " Silver Streak," and give our best attention to the great European continent, of which our islands are only an outlying part 2. Let us suppose that we have ascended in a balloon, so high that the whole of Europe is spread out below us like a map. What do we see? We see a great land mass, washed by the ocean on the north, west, and south sides. We notice that the sea runs far into the land, and that the land mass thrusts out to the north, west, and south great rugged peninsulas, something like the arms of a star-fish. 3. If we look towards the east, we find that our continent merges into another still greater land mass, the continent of Asia, and that it is difficult to say where Europe ends and Asia begins.
