Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annals of the Association of American Geographers, 1915, Vol. 5 Some historical writers are influenced little if at all by the study of the earth and lower life as elements of human environment. Even some volumes professing to deal with the geographic foundation Of history fail of their goal, and one preface affirms that the general physiography of North America is familiar enough to readers. This, I am sure, is quite too rosy a view of the geographic situation. But I cite the limitations of some histories in no mood of criticism. Let every man build the wall over against his own house. What of assured fact or proven principle we put before the historian he has neither the will nor the power to escape. Our light is in no danger of being put under a bushel. But we have good need to see that it is lighted. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Introduction. A Presidential Address before the Association of American Geographers in war time must inevitably concern itself with war. Never, in the long history of man's struggle with man, has there been such emphasis upon the importance of geographic controls over military Operations. Never has the part played by topography, by soils, by the surface covering of the earth, by the atmos phere, been so Obvious. Never has a knowledge Of geographic condi tions had such immediate-practical bearing upon the conduct of war. Never have geographers had such an opportunity to help their country successfully to wage war as they now have, when they place their scientific knowledge at the service of those who can make the most effective use of it.

This book was released on 2017-12 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annals of the Association of American Geographers, Vol. 1: 1911 It has been ascertained that the original plant formations in any habitat give way in a somewhat definite fashion to those that come after, a phenomenon that has been termed succession. Pioneer (i. E., original) formations usually are hydrophytic or xerophytic, mostly xerophytic in arid climates, and more equally divided in moist cli mates. For example, the last retreat of the glacial ice left in our northern states a vast tract made up essentially of hills and hollows, the hollows, if deep enough, with lakes. The pioneer vegetation of the hills was xerophytic, and that of the hollows, hydrophytic. Finally, except on the higher hills and in the deeper hollows, these pioneer formations gave way step by step to the tundra, and, as the climate became ameliorated, this in turn gave way to coniferous forests, and then to deciduous forests as they exist to-day. So far have the higher hills and the deeper hollows lagged behind the less extreme habitats in their development that there are still to be found many places which continue to have pioneer formations, though, of course, they differ greatly from the original pioneer formations of the tundra. While the general trend of vegetation is from diversity toward uniformity, it must not be supposed that complete Similitude is ever reached even under like climatic conditions. There are species, for example, in the ultimate forest of New England which do not occur in Ohio, and species in Ohio which do not occur in Illinois; south ward the difference is even more pronounced. And yet it can not be denied that from the Maritime Provinces to Minnesota and south to the Coastal Plain the ultimate forest in its larger features is of a Single type; the percentages and even the kinds of dominating trees may differ, but the aspect is essentially the same. Much more diverse from one another than are the pioneer or the ultimate formations are the formations of the intermediate stages. Our northern lakes, for example, differ much less from one another in the plant species they contain than do the Swamps to which they give rise. The initial formations of a rock upland in Tennessee and in northern Michigan are much alike, both in aspect and in species; the ultimate formations in these two widely separated districts are even more alike, but the intermediate stages are very different, northern Michigan having nothing at all comparable to the oak stages in the vegetational devel opment of eastern Tennessee, and the latter region being without the complex coniferous stages of northern Michigan. In this instance it is likely that some of the northern coniferous stages correspond to some of the southern oak stages; thus we may speak of alternative or substitute stages, when different plant formations occupy equivalent places in a successional series.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annals of the Association of American Geographers, 1914, Vol. 4 Cyclonic and Anticyclonic Control of Our Own Weather and Cli mates - Most of the United States is well within the belt of prevailing westerly winds, one of whose most marked characteristics is the con tinuous procession of cyclonic and anticyclonic disturbances which keeps marching eastward in a great spiral circuit around the North Pole. Over the Temperate Zones, as a whole, there is thus a great ring of stormy weather, oscillating poleward and equatorward as the sun moves to and fro in the course of its regular migration. Northward, across the United States, to our northern border, swings this great storm belt as the summer sun comes north of the equator. Southward it swings in winter, following the declining sun, covering the country even to the Gulf of Mexico. Scattered through the southern quad rants of our cyclonic storms, especially during the warmer months, come more local disturbances - thunderstorms and tornadoes. There is, thus, a second belt of local storms, south of the general cvclonic storm belt. This, also, swings back and forth seasonally, covering practically the whole country in summer, and being carried well into and even across the southern States in winter.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annals of the Association of American Geographers, 1922, Vol. 12 Above this limit the less fastidious flocks found ampler and better pasturage. Cattle and horses, however, which needed succulent herb age, found suitable grazing Only in high level valleys or lake basins which combined deep soil with summer showers, like the lake-strewn highlands of ancient Arcadia and Epirus or the longitudinal valleys Of the Apennines. In the more arid southern zone, the best summer pastures were located on westward-facing ranges, like the western Apennines, the mountains of Elis, and the high valleys of many fountained Ida, whose cattle pastures in Homeric days reflected the location Of this Mysian mountain between rain-bearing winds from the Aegean Sea and those from the Propontis or Marmora. Mountains or limestone plateaus which barely attained the critical elevation of feet meters), like the Judean Plateau or the Barca Plateau of northern Africa, yielded ephemeral grasses even on their summits. These countries, therefore, had to restrict the raising Of horses and cattle to the scant water-soaked or irrigable lowlands at their base, or draw on the stock Of the pastoral nomads along their steppe borders. Only sheep and goats, led about by some boy shepherd of the hills, could thrive on these uncertain upland pastures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Journal of Geography, 1906, Vol. 5: An Illustrated Monthly Magazine Let us turn in another direction. We are told today that the period Of infancy which in man is longer than in animals is Of vast Significance, and a man's characteristics at various ages are more largely due to modifications produced by his own and less to race experience than is the case with any other animal.1 And all this in order that he may adapt himself to his con dition in life or that he may enjoy a plasticity of physical and mental being, whereby changing methods in life and varying lines Of philosophy and science may be realized by him. If this is so, then one of the aims Of education should be to develop a faculty of adaptation that will give a new idea a welcome and an Opportunity of eliciting a reasonable response. TO learn and to be able to locate the cities of the earth is a task which the athletic memory of a child easily overcomes. This knowledge may be retained because of what we call a good memory or because the mental process becomes habitual by means Of repetition or drill. Soon, however, such knowledge may lose its value. Some unessential feature, as the rhythm or rhyme or even the inflection, is Often the basis Of this special act Of memory; like a tune which is not easily taken up at a subordinate measure but which once begun is Often carried to a successful conclusion. Thus the knowledge becomes a memory chain, a pathway Of narrow width, and all the data therein become encased in a setting. The independent facts cannot be readily used, apart from their associate ideas. And what is worse, if there comes a time when a shifting of the values occurs, and such a memory scheme is relied upon, there is no provision in this method to meet such a condition Of afiairs. These are some of the steps that lead us to believe that our geography teaching should be something more than an exercise in memory and a drill. Apart from that value in the study of geography which adds to the sum of human happiness through the Channels Of general intelligence, I Should place the greatest weight on the training that comes from Classifying and cataloging in one's mind the pano ramic scenes Of the earth as the years unroll the canvas.
