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.

This book was released on 2018-01-02 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Economic Geography of the British Empire The importance of the economic aspect of geo graphical science, demanding not only a record of the various features and phenomena of the earth's surface, but also an understanding of their relation to one another and more especially of their control of human life and activity, is now fully recognised, and this book attempts to work out on these lines the geography of those parts of the world occupied or controlled by the British people. For this purpose the British Empire affords a field of study almost as Wide as the world itself, for it presents physical features, climates, plants, animals and peoples of every type. The widely different modes of life and even the mental outlook of the Canadian farmer, the Australian squatter, the South African miner, the Indian ryot, the South Sea islander and the town-dweller of the mother country are Very largely the result of their geographical environment; and the causes and pos sible solutions of many Imperial problems cannot be clearly understood Without a knowledge 'of the geographical conditions underlying them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from High School Geography: Physical, Economic and Regional The most important thing about the earth is the fact that it is a human planet, that men not only live upon it, but make. Somehow, a living out of it. The earth as a planet, a machine which goes and works, an organism which has grown and developed in the past and will continue to do so in the future, has never been so thoroughly studied and understood as it is to - day. The main result of such study, under the name of physical geography, has been a favorite subject in secondary schools. Some special phases of human activity, more or less closely related to the earth, such as products, manufactures, trade, races, customs, language, religion, and government, are everywhere taught under the names of commercial and political geography. But these different kinds of geography are seldom brought closely together, and the crowning relationship of all geographic science, the relation of the human species to its natural environment, is generally missed or but dim seen.

Download or read book The South Its Economic Geographic Development Classic Reprint written by A. E. Parkins and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The South, Its Economic-Geographic Development This volume is an attempt to describe the civilization of the South, mainly in its economic-geographic aspects, and to interpret this civilization in terms of its regional setting and its historical antecedents. In brief, it is a study of the evolution of Southern civilization. To develop the theme thus outlined the author considers his task to be: First, to describe the Southern environment, i.e., natural and man-modified - the surface features, the climate, the biota, the soils, the mineral and power resources, and the natural transportational facilities. Second, to describe, interpret, and explain, in so far as possible, the cultural features and patterns and institutions that Europeans and their descendants have evolved, in their occupancy of this region, the South. Cultural features and patterns as here used embrace means of transportation and communication, cities, rural and industrial landscapes, types of agriculture, mines, factories and workshops, and what not. Some of the cultural characteristics are to be read from the cultural landscapes; others do not exist or have not existed in material forms, perhaps merely in the mind of man as an idea, ideal, tendency, or pattern of thinking. The author has made no conscious effort to keep the material presented in this volume within the recognized boundaries of any one or two academic subject-matter fields. Archeology and history show that cultures in the course of time undergo changes, which as a rule may be correlated with advances made in mans economic development, i.e., the improvements he makes in his attempt to wrest a living from his environment. Economic goods with which he satisfies his needs are produced in increasing amounts and with a relative decrease in the expenditure of human and physical energy. Stages, steps, eras, periods, or epochs are recognized and so recorded in the advancing order. The writer (along with many other geographers) recognizes a normal order of economic development and a corresponding normal order of cultural development. Such an order is considered normal because the majority of regions in their economic evolution seem to have followed this order.

It is hoped that the following chapters, by indicating that there is more in the subject than the description of places and their products, will help to justify the inclusion of economic geography in the higher branches of modern study. Properly understood and appreciated, economic geography is a help in the solution of many of the political problems of the time. The book should be read with the help of a good modern atlas, without which no volume on geography is complete. It is impossible to acknowledge all the sources to which I am indebted, but the list of books at the end, although not exhaustive, includes the principal works consulted. It may be added that an intelligent use of the daily and periodical press is the best way to keep abreast of developments in economic geography.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Resources of Southern Alabama: A Statistical Guide for Investors and Settlers, With an Exposition of Some of the General Principles of Economic Geography The degree of success attained by a person who moves to a new location depends mainly on his own efficiency and his ability to adapt himself to the new conditions. Indus try and thrift will produce results almost anywhere, if the environment is not too different from what one has been accustomed to. A farmer who had been raising corn and oats on the prairies of Illinois, or wheat on a thousand-acre farm in North Dakota, where the value of crops in 1909-10 was only per acre of improved land, would be likely to feel very much out of place among the mountains of Choc taw County, or on a small sandy truck farm near Mobile, where crops are worth $41 per acre; and one who had been running a dairy in Wisconsin or among the rocky hills of New Hampshire would be equally at a loss among the cot ton, corn and peanut fields of southeastern Alabama. As a rule a farmer or other person who moves from-one state or region to another looks for conditions similar to' what he has been accustomed to, * and maintains about the same standard of living as before; it is therefore very desir able for one contemplating a change of location to know beforehand something of the conditions of living in'the re gion where he is going, especially as regards the soil, water supply, climate and timber, the price of land, the average size of farms and cost of buildings, the usual number per farm of domestic animals of various kinds, the principal crops and average yield of each, the prevailing religious denominations, the proportion of settlers from his own state or country, etc., etc. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Inheriting the Earth written by O. D. Von Engeln and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Inheriting the Earth: Or the Geographical Factor, in National Development In brief, the theme of these chapters is that Place constitutes the essential and significant basis of all human association. Although the potency of environment in shaping the affairs of men has long been urged by geographers, and while the truth of this contention has won some recognition from students of history, sociology, and economics, yet the dominance of environmental control has not been generally accepted as an adequate foundation for a complete theory of history. The author is content to accept any denial of the ultimate importance of geography in shaping the past of mankind. This book has been written, not so much to show that human organization and development have been determined by geographic conditions, as to insist that in the future they should he. Nor does the author even hope that these pages will bring about any marked changes in the policies of statesmen. But this collection and restatement of the geographic factors involved in the rational occupation of the earth by man should prove useful if it help only a little to focus attention on the importance of home, and on the need for effective utilization of environmental resources; in the life of peoples and the welfare of nations.
