Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Book of Physical Geography IN preparing my Elementary Physical Geography, I attempted to present the subject in such a way as to put it forward in its more modern aspect, and particularly to include the new physiography, or science of land form. An effort was made to cover the entire ground in a very elementary way; but at once the difficulty arose that the field was so large, that even to present the subject in an elementary manner would require a good-sized book. To avoid this there were two things possible: one to omit some parts and curtail others; the other to com mence the consideration of some subjects with the assump tion that either the scholars knew the preliminary points, or that the teacher could explain them. Both of these methods of shortening the book were followed, but even then it grew to a size entirely too large for those schools in which the subject has a minor place. The result has been, that although this book has met with a success wholly unexpected, many teachers who wish to give instruction in the new physical geography, are unable to make use of it. It is partly in the hope of meeting the needs of these, that I have undertaken the prep aration of this smaller book, from which still other sub jeeta are omitted, but in which the attempt is made to start from the beginning, and make every topic thoroughly clear.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Home and Its Surroundings: A First Book of Modern Geography Necessity for other basal norrons.-home ex perience alone, however, cannot afford a complete basis for the later study of geography, because no one locality presents all the features required. From this it happens that the best books have contained some definitions and illustrations, as of mountain, river, valley, harbor, and factory, and have planned to build the later text with the ideas these gave as a foundation. Such conceptions are certainly necessary in the early part of geography; but mere definitions fail to produce vivid, accurate pictures. The average pupil who has pursued geography for a year has little notion of the great importance of soil, of what a mountain or a river really is, of the value of good trade routes, and why a vessel cannot find a harbor wherever it will cast anchor along the coast. Yet such ideas are the proper basis for the study of geography in the higher grades. The fact that they are so often wanting is proof that our geography still lacks foundation. How these needs are met. - In this first volume the attempt is made to supply this foundation by treating first such common things as soil, hills, valleys, products, animal life, people, industries, climate, and government, which are part of every child's environment; and sec ondly, other features, as mountains, rivers, lakes, and the ocean, which, though absent from many localities, are still necessary as a preparation for later study. Definitions, however, are not relied upon for giving the child this extra knowledge, but detailed descriptions and discus sions instead. This by no means involves neglect of the child's-own environment from the time the unfamiliar matter is introduced, for references to home experiences in this regard are frequently used. We believe that our plan gives a fuller guarantee of fitness for advanced study than has heretofore been furnished.

Download or read book First Steps in Geography Classic Reprint written by Alexis Everett Frye and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-26 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Steps in Geography Aim. - 'the aim is to show man's relations to nature. These relations are traced through such broad topics as surface features, climate, products, industries, trade, states, cities, etc. Commerce. - History follows routes of trade. For this reason commerce takes a leading place in this book. Products and industries leading to commerce are given many special maps and lessons. This is clearly shown on pages 55 to 65, where cities are treated in their industrial relations. United States. - Every pupil should know the leading facts about his own country. A large part of this book is devoted to the United States. Pictures. - The pictures supplement the text and are true to nature. Nearly all were engraved from photographs. Maps - Special attention is called to the number and variety of maps, as well as to their accuracy. For example, under North America see the shaded relief map on page 40; colored relief map and zone map on page 41; political map on page 43; plant and animal maps on pages 45 and 46. The great relief map of the United States on pages 140 to 141 is photographed from a raised model. The Philippine maps on pages 117 to 121 will be of great help in following current events. Helps. - The Helps after each lesson are to guide pupils towards the leading facts, as well as to help the busy teachers. Pupils should answer questions not in the words of the book but in their own language. Teachers will be pleased to note that only in rare cases is it necessary to turn a leaf to find answers to questions. Spelling - In spelling and usage of geographic names the maps and text follow the rulings of the United States Board on Geographic Names. This book adopts the best modern usage and allows the capital letter in specific names, such as Rhine and Andes, but not in common class names, such as river and mountains, - thus, Rhine river, Andes mountains.

Download or read book Rabenort s Geography written by William Rabenort and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rabenort's Geography: The United States as a Whole This book describes in bold outlines the forms of life and nature which characterize the United States as a whole. The world is the home of man, and no part of it is more attractive or better repays study than the land in which we live. In this book, as in the other volumes of the series, emphasis is laid upon typical occupations, customs, pastimes, and other phases of life. The human relations of such physiographic features as surface, streams, climate, plants and animals are, also, treated fully enough. The facts and inferences of geography that please girls and boys are those that are most useful to the traveler, farmer, fisherman, miner, mechanic, manufacturer, and merchant. Children are interested in the workers who provide food, clothing, shelter, furniture, playthings, tools, machinery, and other commodities which touch the lives of children. They like to know where these things come from, how they are obtained, how prepared, and how used. The investigation and explanation of such facts make geography for many children the most interesting and practical of all school subjects. Therefore, the applications of geography to business and industry predominate in this book, and such topics as forests, waterways, crops, farm animals, minerals, transportation lines, leading manufactures, exports and imports are treated more fully than in most elementary textbooks.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Class-Book of Geography This class-book of Geography was first published in 1878; various errors have been corrected in subsequent editions, but no revision has been made. Messrs. Macmillan now inform me that a larger new edition is required, and suggested that the book should be brought up to date, which has been done for me by the Rev. G. E. Mackie, Head Master of the Godolphin School. I have gone over his revision before going to press. The principal alterations are - (i) the putting in newer numbers for the population of towns; (2) the bringing up to date the political geography of Egypt, Turkey, &c.; (3) the mention of a few places. As Baku, which have lately become of importance; (4) the addition of an Appendix, intended to indicate what is meant by Astronomic Geography and Chartography.

Download or read book The International Geography Classic Reprint written by Hugh Robert Mill and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-24 with total page 1120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The International Geography The allotment of Space was made after comparing a number of the leading systematic text-books in all languages, and taking account of the area, the population and the degree of accurate knowledge regarding the different countries. The original allocation of space has, however, been slightly altered at the representation of the authors. As the book is intended to appear at first in the English language only, the parts of the world occupied or controlled by the English-speaking nations have been treated more fully than the rest but without giving the excessive promi nence to the native country which is Characteristic of books intended only for school use. The United Kingdom, though occupying much less space than in most English text-books, is treated in greater detail than any other large country. This is because the materials for its geographical description are perhaps more ample and as yet less studied than those of almost any other region. The United States could not be considered in equal detail, but the novel and scientific plan adopted for the Chapter dealing with them makes it perhaps the most instructive in the book, and it is also the longest. The countries of Europe, especially those recognised as Great Powers, have also been treated more fully than is usual in English or American books, and from a point of View that cannot fail to throw new light on their nature and people. No part of the world dominated by Western Civilisation is viewed as a foreign land but is Opened to study from within.
