Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Business Geography Modern geography has become a definite science. Its principles are so well defined that a knowledge of the physical conditions under which a race has lived and now lives gives a reasonably reliable indi cation as to the capacity, activity, Occupations, and business relap tions of that race. In studying this growing science the first step is to understand the main principles. That is the reason for Part I of this book. A second step is to apply the principles to concrete prob lems as is done in Part II. There the community engaged in a particular line of activity is taken as the unit in Order that the geographical relationships may first be studied in relatively simple forms before going on to the more complex regional studies of Parts III and IV. In the regional chapters the aim is to give a clear conception of the way in which geographic conditions influence the products of a region, the capacity of the people, the direction in which their activities are turned, and the nature and extent of their business relations with other regions.

Download or read book A Commercial Geography written by John Newel Tilden and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-28 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Complete Geography We have decided to teach these features objectively on a plan that has been highly commended. For instance. Instead of devoting two or three pages of text to the origin of mountains. A subject in which the average child takes no interest, we give in the general presentation of the physical geography of the earth four pictures of mountains, and under each picture give a brief description of the origin and character of the formation. The same course has been followed with reference to other physical features. The pupil will read these descriptions because of his interest in the picture, and will remember them for life because of their association with it. Commercial and Industrial Geography. - A leading feature of this book is the treatment of industrial and commercial geography. In actual life, it is a knowledge of the countries of the earth, and of the people who inhabit them, of their resources and industries, their cities and commercial relations, that one needs for practical business purposes, or even for an intelligent appreciation of the contents of the daily newspapers. Industrial Illustrations. - In carrying out this plan we have been engaged for three years past in collecting from all parts of the world industrial pictures - photographs showing machinery in actual operation, and under these we have placed descriptions which give in a few words a clear idea of the process of manufacture. We have distributed these throughout the book in such a way as to identify each industry with some state or country where it is especially prominent. We believe that this plan will awaken present interest and prove of permanent value. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book A Short Commercial Geography Classic Reprint written by Lionel William Lyde and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-11 with total page 306 pages. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Principles of Economic Geography This volume attempts to give little more than an outline of the principles of economic geography in a readable form. The scope of the subject is liberally interpreted in the belief that the deeper and wider the foundations the surer the edifice that can be built. For this reason several matters are touched on which are not often dealt with in works on economic geography. Statistical matter, as far as possible, has been avoided as out of keeping with the aim of the book. Moreover, statistics for recent years, even when available, do not illustrate the normal features of production and trade, owing to the dislocation caused by the war.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Commercial Geography of the World Of that work, first taken in hand twenty years ago, five editions, representing copies, have been demanded in Austria, Ger many, and Switzerland; while even in other countries, of which the national language is not German, such as Sweden, Norway, Holland, and the United States of America (in German schools), it has been adopted as a medium of instruction in its subject. I may perhaps be justified in taking these facts as proofs that my method is one that has approved itself to some of the most advanced nations of the globe. But I derive a peculiar satisfaction from the translation of my book into English, for if England includes it in the list of its books of instruction, that fact will practically be a letter of introduction to all quarters of the globe. I need not here recount in detail the con tents of my work. Those who even glance through the volume will find that they have before them a piece of honest work, in which I have striven to convey geographical instruction in a form approved by practical experience. In the present age, when international commerce consists no longer in the peaceful exchange of the produc tions of the different zones, but is often a keen life-and-death rivalry between competing nations and continents, the educated merchant must learn to regard the world as an economic organism, in which each nation discharges the function that best accords with its economic development. I believe that my book owes much of its friendly reception to the attempt made in it to account for the economic posi tion of each state by its physical character and by the ethnographic peculiarities and the degree of civilization of its people. I trust that my labours will commend themselves to the English speaking public, that has always endeavoured to accord to technical instruction its due place and privileges by the side of general culture.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Commercial Geography As applied to our own country, this study is especially stimu lating; for we have advanced to the front rank in the leading industries of agriculture, mining, manufacturing, and transpor tation. If this prosperity were due entirely to the generosity with which Nature has showered her gifts upon us, no lesson could be drawn from it; but the history of the past, and a com parative study of difi'erent countries in the present, teach us that without man's earnest and thoughtful cobperation the greatest wealth of natural resources may coexist with the greatest stag nation in development. If, therefore, in the face of competition that grows keener as the years advance, we would maintain our superior position, we must not grope blindly, but must know the causes of success and failure, and act with the clearest understanding. With such ideas in mind this book has been planned. It begins with a study of the influence on industrial progress of climate and topography, of social conditions, of manufacturing and transportation facilities, and of financial conditions, giving due weight to each as a factor in economic development.

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.

It recognizes the dearth of reference works on many of the subjects treated, and has given the leading industries such treatment as to make each chap ter a unit. The dependence of industries upon geographical conditions, the rela tion of man to his environment, and the effect of commerce upon civiliza tion are clearly shown. The industrial life of our own country is fully treated, and then the relation of the United States to other countries, and of these to each other, are shown.

Lakes, but, since the navigation of the St. Lawrence River has been improved, with all the rest of the world. In the matter of railroad advantages no other city surpasses Chicago. For these reasons the flour which is made there is easily marketed. Kansas. Kansas is profiting much from the westward movement of wheat raising and manufacturing. Between 1900 and 1905 its milling industry almost doubled, and in the latter year ranked second among the industries of the state in the value of its product. The mills are not concentrated in any one city or in any one part of the state, but there are a number of important centers, such as Atchison, Leavenworth, Topeka, and Wichita. Missouri. Missouri is also becoming an important flour-milling state, having come up from sixth place in 1900 to third place in 1905. Here, too, flour milling is the second industry in importance, coming next to slaughtering and meat packing. St. Louis, its chief city, has long been recognized as a center of trade because of its position on the Mississippi, and to-day its railway facilities are even greater than the advantages offered by that great waterway. Missouri's success illustrates the fact that it is cheaper to manufacture wheat in or near the wheat belt, and to send the flour, rather than the raw product, to market. Marketing The business of marketing the products manufactured from wheat, such as flour and stock feed, the former being the more important, has come to be a large one, and is greatly helped by our rapid and cheap transportation system. There was a time when each state produced nearly enough wheat to feed its own population; but through division of labor and specialization, various industries have come to be centered in the places best suited to...
