Download or read book A New Method With Geography written by J. H. Diebel and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-04 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A New Method With Geography: Illustrating the Use of the Sketch-Map There has, in recent year, been much discussion on the subject of map-drawing as an aid in the study of Geography; and, while many good teachers strongly advocate it, some equally good teachers as strongly oppose it. The opposition is founded mainly on the fact that it takes up too much valuable time. And, who will say that this objection is not well taken? Pupils have been encouraged to spend weeks in the mechanical construction of maps into whose real meaning and relative proportions they took but little trouble to inquire, but rather spent their time in tracing outlines and coloring surfaces according to some model (usually the map in the book) which lay before them. This mechanical accuracy of copying is, in itself, not a bad thing, but it does not develop the faculty of location nor teach the pupil anything about Geography. To draw maps according to some cartographic diagram, or design, is to defeat the object intended to be gained, and hence, many of our best teachers have warred against map-drawing. The Sketching of maps from memory at once sets aside these objections and retains all that is favorable. This exercise when rightly conducted is a most valuable aid, and the following lessons have been arranged to assist teachers and pupils in its execution. The pupils should take their places at the black-board, and at the direction of the teacher draw the boundary lines, - drawing the same lines at the same time. In this way the outline may be discussed and criticised at different points and its accuracy determined from their memory of positions and relative proportions. Mountains, rivers and lakes should then be sketched, and discussed as to their location, trend, and extent. The capitals and other important cities should then be located.

The imperial palace―full of ambitious royals, sly gossip, and unforeseen perils―is perhaps the most dangerous place in the Empire of Zhaon. Komor Yala, the lady-in-waiting to the princess of the vanquished kingdom of Khir, has only her wits and a hidden blade to protect herself and her charge, who was sacrificed in marriage to secure a tenuous peace. Soon, Komor Yala and the Khir princess find themselves pawns in the deadly schemes for the throne. And when the emperor falls ill, a far bloodier game begins... A single hidden blade could alter the course of history in this epic tale of ambition, honor, and sacrifice, perfect for fans of The Tiger's Daughter and The Grace of Kings.

Download or read book Qualitative GIS written by Meghan Cope and published by SAGE. This book was released on 2009-07-09 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geographic Information Systems are an essential tool for analyzing and representing quantitative spatial data. Qualitative GIS explains the recent integration of qualitative research with Geographical Information Systems With a detailed contextualising introduction, the text is organised in three sections: Representation: examines how researchers are using GIS to create new types of representations; working with spatial data, maps, and othervisualizations to incorporate multiple meanings and to provide texture and context. Analysis: discusses the new techniques of analysis that are emerging at the margins between qualitative research and GIS, this in the wider context of a critical review of mixed-methods in geographical research Theory: questions how knowledge is produced, showing how ideas of ′science′ and ′truth′ inform research, and demonstrates how qualitative GIS can be used to interrogate discussions of power, community, and social action Making reference to representation, analysis, and theory throughout, the text shows how to frame questions, collect data, analyze results, and represent findings in a truly integrated way. An important addition to the mixed methods literature, Qualitative GIS will be the standard reference for upper-level students and researchers using qualitative methods and Geographic Information Systems.
