Book excerpt: Excerpt from Commercial Geography the Materials of Commerce for the Philippines In a recent readjustment of the high-school course of study effected by this Office, a two-year course has been introduced into the last half of the high-school curriculum embodying a half year of physical geography, a half year of commercial geography, and a year of economic conditions in the Philippines. The material of instruction in all of these subjects is made to apply very definitely to local conditions in these Islands. The course is logical in its sequence. A study of climate, topography, and other physical features leads normally to a consideration of the products of the country which depend largely upon them. Then follows a discussion of the industrial conditions, and the three phases of the one subject are viewed from the standpoint of and consideration of the material well-being of the people of the Philippines. The necessity for a special text on this subject, having as its basis the conditions which obtain in this particular field, is evident. Standard American and European texts in commercial geography might, of course, be used here, but the interpretation of the principles and theories announced and their adaptation to local conditions would involve so large an expenditure of time and effort on the part of the teachers that it seems almost essential that a special Philippine text be provided. The author of this book, Mr. Hugo H. Miller, of the division of industrial information of the Bureau of Education, has drawn upon all available sources of material, and the result as realized in this text is one of the most valuable publications issued by this Bureau.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Commercial Geography The object of this text is the exposition of the principles of commercial geography as based on a knowledge of its more im portant facts. It is regarded as necessary and advantageous to treat products and regions in a single volume, if perspective is observed and if both products and regions are made contributory to the unfolding of principles. To this end minor commodities and regions must surrender their place to facts of larger meaning. Part I offers an inductive approach to principles which are formally stated in Chapter VI. The author holds it wise to avoid an introductory statement of abstract relations, and has therefore chosen five products or staples of world-wide interest, treating them broadly as world products and as typical of all others in the geographic principles involved. No materials of commerce are more significant in themselves, or in their relations, than wheat, cotton, cattle, iron, and coal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Handbook of Commercial Geography For the preparation of these new tables I am indebted to Miss E. J. Hastings. The three volumes which have now appeared distinguishing the 'consignment' from the import and export trade of the United Kingdom throw much more light on some of the features of British trade than could be got from the only returns formerly published, and for that reason a few paragraphs and notes relating to that subject have been added (pp. 601 - 2, pars. 6005, 607a, 624a, No change has been made in the town populations of France and Germany in consequence of the new censuses of 1906 and December 31, 1905, respectively. The object of giving these populations is to allow of a rough comparison of the relative importance of towns in different parts of the world, and as in most other cases the populations are based on returns about 1900, it would be misleading to introduce in these two cases returns of a later date. It may be here mentioned, however, that in France the round numbers adopted to give the results of the census returns of 1901 would serve almost equally well in many cases for those of 1906. Some of the large towns have even gone back in population. Lille lost Roubaix between the two censuses. In nearly all the large towns of Germany, however, the rapid growth of previous periods was shown by the 1905 census to have been continued.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Physical and Commercial Geography: A Study of Certain Controlling Conditions of Commerce The triple authorship, corresponding practically to the three Parts of this book, expresses graphically our belief that the facts and princi ples involved in a study of the environmental relations of man require contributions from both the natural and the social sciences, and are best presented by a combination of workers from these two fields. Therefore while each author is directly responsible for the presenta tion of material from his particular field, the outline and general character of treatment is the joint work of the three authors.

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. The true relations of ordinary economic phenomena. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Brief Commercial Geography There can be no doubt of the fact, if We are to be consistent with our interpretation of geography as expressed in the preceding volume of this series, that the main feature of the geography study in the last class of the elementary school is the commercial phase. The trade of the world, including as does practically all the activities of the human race, is of a scope tremendous in its meaning. Only by a study of it can the relation of the human species to its natural environment be appreciated. In it is involved the greatest of all geograph ical causal relations. The student should be brought to feel the rivalry and interplay of nations in this greatest of all games, the constant struggle for a goodly and increasing portion of international commerce.

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.

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 The Geography of Commerce and Industry You have long since learned that the sur land and water face of the earth is composed of land and water and that there is practically three times as much water as land. Probably you have also learned that the land and water are very unequally distributed, the greater part of the land lying north of the Equator and the greater part of the water lying south of it; but you may not have considered the relations which these condi tions sustain to human life, occupations and commerce. Unequal distm_ Of the fourteen hundred million people liv Ing upon the earth about one-half live upon Bunon 0f FE less than one-seventh of its surface. The principal causes for this unequal distribution of life are climate and the condition of the earth's surface. Animals are compelled to live in the regions that produce their food. Man only can live away from the sources of his food supply, because he alone has devised means for transporting what he needs to any locality in which he desires to dwell. Some animals feed upon plants, and some upon other animals. Those animals that furnish food for others, themselves feed upon plants; therefore the animal life of a locality is determined by its plant life, and even man finds it to his advantage to dwell in those portions of the earth where his supply of food is abundant and easily obtained. The most important features of climate are temper climate ature and rainfall. As these are, so are the vegeta tion, animal life and people. In general, the earth is divided climatically into the tropical, temperate and polar regions. The tropical regions are characterized by high temperatures, and in some localities an abundance of rainfall, and in others almost an entire absence of rainfall. Where there is an abundance of rainfall we find the most luxuriant vegetation. The regions best illustrating these condi tions of life are found in the valleys of the Amazon and Kongo Rivers. In the forests of the Amazon the trees grow to an enormous size, and twining and climbing plants and undergrowth form thickets so dense that it is impossible to penetrate them. Here also are myriads of insects of the most gorgeous hues and birds of brilliant plumage. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
