This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A World Geography for Canadian Schools The textual matter has been selected largely on an economic basis. What the people of a given region are doing is the important thing in geography. How Nature exercises her controls over that region, how the people react to their environment, the amount of success or failure - these things count heavily in present - day geography. Products are the result of two things, Nature and Man, reacting the one on the other. The scientific study and explanation of the nature and purpose of things brings geography into the class of reasoning subjects, and definitely eliminates the mere memorization of names of places and lists of things. Where amounts and values have been used to explain size and quantity of production they are for comparative purposes only and are not to be memorized. The latest available figures have been used, unless these were clearly unusual, as they frequently are, for the years 1930 - 3. It is urged that the figures in the text be compared with statistics from such works as the C anada Year Book and the Statesman's Year Book.

Download or read book High School Physical Geography Classic Reprint written by Grove Karl Gilbert and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from High School Physical Geography IN order to fit this work for use in Canadian schools, some changes have been made in the order of topics and in the subject-matter. For this revision the authors are largely indebted to Professor A. P. Cole man of the University of Toronto, who has given the volume the benefit of his intimate knowledge of the geography and geology of the Dominion, substituting in every chapter pertinent examples and discussions in place of material which would have special value only in the United States. New chapters have been added, dealing with rocks, with the physical history of Canada, and with matters of elementary astronomy. For the chapters dealing with astronomy Professor C. A. Chant of the University of Toronto is responsible. The study of rocks is introduced before the processes are taken up in detail, and the account of the earth's relations to the sun is transferred to a point near the end of the book. Suitable substitutions have been made in the maps and half-tone illustrations. Not withstanding, these changes, the volume distinctly keeps its identity, and is issued in its new dress in the hope that it may be useful in geographic instruc tion in the High' Schools, Collegiate Institutes and Academies of Canada. The authors are specially indebted to Professors Cole man and Chant, and to the Canadian Pacific Railway Company for many of the illustrations used in this edition.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Geography of Canada: For the Use of Schools and Families IN preparing for the press this manual on the Geogra phy of Canada it has been the writer's aim to supply, in an acceptable manner a desideratum in Canadian class-books, which has been very generally felt and regretted. Its compilation has engaged no small portion of his unprofes sional hours during several months. He trusts that such a pioneer may receive at the hands of his Educational Brethren the indulgence to which it seems entitled in view of the variety of sources from which its materials required to be selected, and of the very transitional (so to speak) character of things in a nascent community. Conscious of its imperfections, and desirous that these may be removed in a subsequent edition, he Will be happy to receive in the interval communications from professional brethren or others With amendments or suggestions of improvements.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Canadian Geography: Specially Adapted for Use in Public and High Schools Geography is in reality one of the most important subjects taught in school, but it has been degraded in the past to the memorizing of lists of names of places, coupled with their location. This exercise was the most utterly barren of all the processes of bad teaching. Humboldt, Guyot, Geikie, Huxley, Harris, and Parker have placed Geography on a higher plane, and have made it the true basis of the sciences most intimately related to man's physical existence.

Download or read book Canadian School Geography written by George A. Cornish and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-16 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Canadian School Geography Canadian schools have been too long tied down to United States text-books in Geography either adapted or made over. Every paragraph of a good text-book in geography is permeated with the atmosphere of the country in which it is to be used. To adapt or make over such a book for another country quenches its fire and it becomes lifeless and uninteresting. To write a text-book from the Canadian standpoint has been the purpose of the present author. The subject matter, the comparisons, the maps, and the illustrations have the Canadian atmosphere. This text-book differs in several respects from those with which Canadian educationists are most familiar. 1. The map has been made the centre about which the practical work of the pupil is built up. What the apparatus is to the student of chemistry, and crayons and paints to the student of art, maps and pictures are to the student of regional geography. The performance by the pupils of the many projects in this text will give them such skill in interpretation that, given a proper set of maps of an unknown region, they will be able to write its geography. Not only are the maps to be used in working out the projects but also in reading every page of the book. 2. But to use maps to advantage they must be numerous, of the right kind, and in such a convenient form that they can be consulted with ease and comfort while reading the text. No Canadian text-book in geography has ever had as great an assortment of maps as is given in the Atlas which accompanies this volume. But it is particularly in their character that the maps are distinguished from those found in the ordinary Canadian textbook. The political map with its variegated checker-board of colours, which obscures all those features most important to understand the geography of a region, and which every educational expert in geography condemns, has all but disappeared from the Atlas and we are given maps showing physical features, vegetation, rainfall, temperature, productions, and those other features, which colouring is necessary to distinguish. Moreover, the maps are not so crowded with unimportant names as to blur those other features that it is intended to make conspicuous. Only such names as are likely to be referred to in teaching the subject are given in the maps. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nelson's Geography Practice Series: Canada The aim of this book is not only to give the pupil a competent knowledge of the Geography of Canada, but to do so in such a manner that he will grasp the scientific principles which under lie and explain the geography of the whole world.

Download or read book The International Geography Classic Reprint written by Hugh Robert Mill and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-24 with total page 1120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The International Geography The allotment of Space was made after comparing a number of the leading systematic text-books in all languages, and taking account of the area, the population and the degree of accurate knowledge regarding the different countries. The original allocation of space has, however, been slightly altered at the representation of the authors. As the book is intended to appear at first in the English language only, the parts of the world occupied or controlled by the English-speaking nations have been treated more fully than the rest but without giving the excessive promi nence to the native country which is Characteristic of books intended only for school use. The United Kingdom, though occupying much less space than in most English text-books, is treated in greater detail than any other large country. This is because the materials for its geographical description are perhaps more ample and as yet less studied than those of almost any other region. The United States could not be considered in equal detail, but the novel and scientific plan adopted for the Chapter dealing with them makes it perhaps the most instructive in the book, and it is also the longest. The countries of Europe, especially those recognised as Great Powers, have also been treated more fully than is usual in English or American books, and from a point of View that cannot fail to throw new light on their nature and people. No part of the world dominated by Western Civilisation is viewed as a foreign land but is Opened to study from within.
