Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A d104-Book of Commercial Geography Comparatively few statistics are included in the text. The statistical tables, at the end of most of the chapters, relate to the subject-matter of the chapter to which they are appended; it is hoped that they will be found full of information, which, in small space, will helpfully supple ment the text. No statistics have been used that are not believed to represent normal conditions; for this reason older data, in some instances, have been regarded as prefer able to the latest information. N 0 figures relating to some countries have been used; in Cuba, for example, statistical data relating neither to the period before the insurrection of 1895 nor to some years later represented normal condi tions of trade, and they were not used.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Commercial Geography: An Intermediate Text-Book The requirements of modern geographical method have been kept carefully in view, and an attempt has been made to harmonise regional treatment with the necessary consideration of political units. Questions, which have been added at the end of each chapter, should provide a useful basis for revision and many others of a similar nature will occur to the teacher. The free introduction of maps and diagrams is not intended to supersede the atlas, which should be always by the student's side and he should be encouraged to trace tendencies towards change by constant reference to the various Statistical Abstracts issued by the Board of Trade. Such exercises make no inordinate demand upon either time or ability, and are of the utmost value in conjunction with a rational text-book from the educative point of view.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short Commercial Geography Geography is a study of the earth from the stand point of Man, and Commercial Geography is simply that part of the Science which is specially concerned with Man's wants. That is to say, it is a study of the earth from the standpoint of the intelligent merchant, who wishes to know where he can get the largest amount of the usual commodities, in the best condition, at the least cost, and with the greatest regularity. The essential point is a thorough knowledge of the typical conditions under which the commodities are, or may be, produced; and it is the office of Commercial Geography to supply this knowledge. It is a cause for regret, therefore, that in various ways Commercial Geography has been either made a matter of cram, ' or confused with Political Economy and Commerce. Knowledge of the theory of ex change and of actual commercial operations is of infinite value in actual business but neither the one nor the other has, I think, any direct place in a text-book of Commercial Geography. If this conception of the Science is correct, it is obvious that variable statistics and similar burdens on, or appeals to, the memory should be avoided; and that the typical conditions for the production of necessaries should be emphasised. And the Science can be called truly educational only if it leaves much to the initiative and co-operation of the student, simply providing a basis for ascertained facts and generalisations and for analysing. The true relations of ordinary economic phenomena. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Commercial Geography: For Academies, High Schools, and Business Colleges A large proportion of boys in schools expect to enter business life. Comparatively few have opportunity for the extended training given by a college course, and must depend upon the academy, the high school, or the commercial school for their preparation. The problem is to give boys, having a limited time at their command, the training and knowledge that will be of the greatest practical value in a commercial life. A good knowledge of what are known as fundamental branches is necessary; but, beyond these, it has been difficult to decide what branches of instruction will prove of greatest practical service. Political economy, civics, physics, chemistry, history, and the modern languages are helpful toward training the mind; but, if the languages be excepted, the branches named do not directly give the practical results that are so much needed. If some facts bearing upon the active commercial questions of the day could be brought within the scope of a text-book, it would seem to supply a want. Among these questions are, the routes and growth of commerce, - the production - centres and the markets of the world, - waterways and railways, and the increase of commerce as related to the growth of cities. The staple articles of commerce, their relative value and importance, would also deserve attention. With a view of partly, at least, fulfilling this, object, I have prepared this textbook of Commercial Geography. The need of such a book has been felt in my own school work, and it is hoped that other teachers may find it useful in giving pupils some ideas of the magnitude of the world's production, in showing the interdependence of nations for the necessities as well as the luxuries of life; and in presenting many facts of practical value relating to commerce. While Commercial Geography deals mainly with the interchange of commercial products, it is also essential that the student should know something about the countries and localities where the raw materials are found, how the latter are obtained, what the processes of manufacture are, how interchange is effected, and what ratio home consumption bears to export. All these are important questions, that must be studied if practically useful knowledge is to be assimilated.

This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Commercial and Industrial Geography a d104 Book for Schools, Colleges, and Private Reference The rapid expansion of the foreign trade and the increasing domestic commerce of the United States have made it necessary for the business man to inform himself as to the kind, quantity and value of the various natural and manufactured products that are bought and sold in the markets of the world. It is also desirable for him to know why certain countries have controlled certain lines of trade in the past and whether present conditions are such that he may compete successfully in the world's neutral markets. The author is daily called upon to answer questions coming from students, teachers and business men bearing upon such topics touching the industry and commerce of the world. In the preparation of this book it is assumed that the student already has a fair knowledge of political and physical geography. Commodities are first treated separately following the classification given in the United States Government reports. The processes of manufacture of some of the more important articles are incidentally given in order to aid in understanding any peculiarities in them affecting the course of trade. The countries in each continent are next considered in the order of their importance to the trade of the United States. The physical and other conditions affecting trade are also considered as well as the weights and measures, the currency, and the languages in use in each country. Trade routes, government revenues, aids to commerce, instruments of exchange, and the metric system, and their effect upon commerce are treated in separate chapters. Statistics are used only to the extent necessary to show the relative importance of the various commodities and different countries engaged in the world's trade. For United States imports and exports those of the fiscal years ending June 30 are given, as these are the only periods for which complete statistics are published.

Download or read book Handbook of Commercial Geography Classic Reprint written by George Goudie Chisholm and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-31 with total page 872 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of Commercial Geography Preparations for a ninth edition were begun in 1913, and were nearly completed when the war broke out. This expression, the war, ' n'ow recurs again and again in the text, and one can only hope that the war referred to will prove to be such an unmistakable epoch in history as to leave no doubt as to what war is meant. When war was declared, both the publishers and I agreed that it would be altogether inopportune to publish a work of the scope of the present when the geography of almost the entire world was about to be upset. Publication was accordingly postponed till after the conclusion of the principal peace treaties. All the time, however, preparations for the new edition were going on, and the work now appears in a form more completely recast than any previous edition. The resetting of the entire book and the re numbering of the paragraphs have allowed of interpolations and rear rangements of matter on a much greater scale than ever before. The introductory matter of the fourth and eighth editions has been put in its proper place in the text, and subjects that seemed to me to require further elucidation have been dealt with at greater length. Such additions are scattered throughout the book, but the principal additions are under Climate (with new illustrative maps), Commercial and Industrial Towns, Coal, and The British Isles. It is this last section that has been most considerably extended, but not so much by the addition of new matter as by the incorporation of matter previously in one or other of the introductions. Notwithstanding the delay in publication, the work is still issued to an unsettled world, and one of which the settlement on a basis allowing of a new period of orderly evolution seems still remote. Comparisons under the head of value between pre-war and post-war conditions seem to me to be hardly ever possible, and for that reason no average values are given in this edition for periods subsequent to 1913, or the fiscal year 1913 - 14, where the fiscal does not correspond with the calendar year. International values have of course a meaning in individual transactions, but in present conditions I can attach no meaning to average values for any period comparable with those of pre-war periods, and therefore I do not choose to encumber my pages with data of which I cannot myself discern the use. It is doubtful, indeed, whether we shall ever be able to get such figures. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
