Book excerpt: Excerpt from Australia in Its Physiographic and Economic Aspects The present work is merely an Introduction to the study of the Commercial Geography of Australia. I have endeavoured to avoid bare statistics, and, humbly following the plan of Mackinder, Davis, and other modern geographers, to lay the most stress on the physical controls which govern the industrial conditions in our Island Continent. There has been no attempt to give an exhaustive account either of the physiographic or of the economic aspects of Australia. This would not be advisable for several reasons; but the main industries in each State, especially such as are characteristic of Australian environment, have been chosen for fuller treatment. In dealing with them, their relation to Geology and Climate (more particularly to rainfall) is discussed, as well as their distribution. In a few cases some brief technological notes are added. A glance at the list of sections will show that some States must be more fully treated than others. New South Wales is most important for Wool and Coal; Queensland for Cattle and Sugar; Victoria for Irrigation and other problems of Intense Cultivation; South Australia for Wheat, and so on. I have endeavoured to acknowledge material borrowed from other works almost wholly Government publications - in the text, but I am under great obligation to Professor David, F. R. S. (University of Sydney); to Mr. H. C. L. Anderson, M. A. (Intelligence Department, N. S. W.); Mr. R. Mackay (Public Works Department, N. S. W.); Mr. D. J.Gordon of Adelaide, S. A.; Mr. D. J. Mahony and Mr. A. S. Kenyon. Especially do I wish to record my indebtedness to Dr. A. J. Herbertson, Professor of Geography in the University of Oxford; and to the Yearbooks of Mr. G. H. Knibbs. In 1907 were given - what I believe to be - the first Australian University lectures on Economic Geography. As a result of this course the first edition of this book was published in 1911, and I first saw it in print in Antarctica in 1912.

Download or read book The Making of Geography as a Secondary School Subject written by John Mortimer and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2021-06-02 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No work has ever been produced previously that shows how historically geography has been constructed as a subject for the senior years of secondary schooling in Western Australia from 1917 to 1997. In doing so, this book contributes to the existing corpus of international research on the history of curriculum and particularly the history of geography as a senior secondary school subject. Much of it is based on primary sources, including the textbooks and atlases used, along with syllabus manuals and geography examination papers. It also provides a framework for investigating the construction of senior secondary school geography curricula in other constituencies, and could act as a model for engaging in further research in curriculum history for other school subjects state-wide, nationally and internationally. The book also makes an important contribution to the fields of curriculum design, curriculum development and curriculum innovation. It will be of great interest to historians of education, comparative educationists, education leaders, policy makers and librarians.

Download or read book A History of the Faculty of Arts at the University of Adelaide 1876 2012 written by Nick Harvey and published by University of Adelaide Press. This book was released on 2012 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bachelor of Arts (BA) was the first recognised degree at the University of Adelaide. Although informal classes for some subjects were held at the University between 1873 and 1875, the first official University lecture was a Latin lecture at 10 am on Monday 28 March 1876. This was followed by lectures in Greek, English and Mental Philosophy. By 1878, the first BA student, Thomas Ainslie Caterer, completed his studies for the BA degree and in 1879 became the first graduate of the University of Adelaide. Even though the BA was the first degree it was not until eight years later in 1887 that the Faculty of Arts was inaugurated (after the Faculty of Law in 1884, a Board of Studies in Music in 1885 and the Faculty of Medicine in 1885). Following the creation of a separate science degree in 1882 many scientific subjects were removed from the BA. For the next five years the subjects were Latin, Greek, Mathematics, Natural Philosophy, Logic, English, History, and Comparative Philology. Later other subjects such as French, German and Political Economy were added toward the end of the nineteenth century. In 1897 the Elder Conservatorium of Music was created as the first music school of its type in Australia, although at that time it was not part of the Faculty of Arts. In the first 50 years of the Universitys existence, less than ten BA students graduated each year. At the start of the 21st century this figure had climbed to over 300 BA graduates per year but what is interesting is that by 2010 the number of BA graduates was equalled by the number of graduates from separate named degrees within the Faculty plus 70 Music graduates. In addition, during the first decade of the twenty-first century, there were over 60 coursework postgraduates plus more than 40 research postgraduates graduating each year.
