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.

Download or read book The World About Us written by O. J. R. Howarth and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The World About Us: A Study in Geographical Environment The term 'geographical environment in relation to man, covers all those features of the land in which he lives, in respect of their effects upon his habit of life in whatever connexion. Such features include the relief of the land, whether it be plain, hilly, or mountainous; the nature of its soil, whether fertile or unfertile, well watered or dry; its position, whether insular or continental, and if continental whether coastal or inland; its relation to other lands surrounding it; its climate, vegetation, and mineral wealth. All such features influence man more or less in his social and political condition, in his economic activities, even in his mental and physical development. These influences are in many cases obvious - sometimes so obvious that their importance is apt to be overlooked for that very reason they are worth viewing systematically as a necessary part of the study not only of geography itself, but of history and economics. In other cases they are subtle and indirect, and there comes a point when they may be supposititious or at least incapable of reasoned proof as, for example, when it is attempted to assess the influence of climate upon character.

Download or read book A Geography of the World Classic Reprint written by B. C. Wallis and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Geography of the World "When you can measure what you are speaking about and express it in numbers, you know something about it, but when you can not measure it, when you can not express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meagre and unsatisfactory kind." - Lord Kelvin. An ideal course in Geography would deal with the quantitative measurement and expression of the facts as to the geographical conditions under which man lives and works determined in relation to the world as a unit. This or that country produces or uses this or that proportion of a given commodity; it is not enough to know that Brazil produces coffee, or Australia mines gold; we must know that Brazil produces four-fifths of the world's coffee and Kalgoorlie mines one-tenth of the world's gold. This book is an attempt within many limitations to realise this ideal: it represents an endeavour to obtain in the realm of geographical facts a numerical statement of our knowledge. The first limitation is due to size. It is scarcely possible to deal exhaustively with all the geographical facts of the world in a book of this compass; some selection has been necessary, and it appeared advisable to allow for greater detail in certain parts by limiting the scope to the British Empire as a sample of the whole world. Superficially, it may appear that the data considered are too economic in character, that insufficient allowance has been made for the physiographic elements. This is, however, more an appearance than a reality; the numerical statement of the facts necessarily takes up more space than the verbal expression which is possible in regard to land forms. Geography deals with the co-existence at the present time of the many forces which tend to shape human effort.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Geography, Vol. 2 Every boy and every girl in this country has an opportunity to rise to a position of great responsibility. The schools are open to all, and everyone who is able and willing to work hard may have the advantages of the highest and best education. Each one will have the responsibility of citizenship in a great nation. To fulfill the responsibility of citizenship, to help the home community, the state, and the nation, each one of us should understand the geography of this country; and at this time, when the United States of America is taking a larger and larger part in affairs of world-wide importance, it is more necessary than ever before that We know also the geography of other countries. Variety in physical and human geography. Some parts of the United States are warm and other parts are cold; some are well watered and forested, others have a moderate rainfall and are grasslands; and still others are very dry. In some sections of the country there are plains, in some parts there are plateaus, and in other parts there are mountains. See map opposite page 82. Vast areas of rich soils have led to farming, and the extensive grasslands have invited many to raise cattle, horses, and sheep. The wonderful supplies of coal, oil, gas, and water-power', together with iron, copper, lead, and zinc, have made possible a most re markable industrial development. People living on the coast, where there are good harbors, have very natu rally become interested in commerce, and throughout the land many are engaged in trade and transportation. Because the physical geography differs so widely in the many sections, the human geography varies also. Natural regions. For purposes of study, which should lead to an understanding of geography, the United States is divided into natural regions. See map on pages 2 and 3.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Geography Humboldt was, above all, a great traveller, but he was also a man of science in the largest sense, interested not in one group of facts, but in many. The extent of his knowledge and the breadth of his interests enabled him to observe a vast number of phenomena while his particular genius was manifest in the way in which he correlated these, and considered them in their relation to each other. Though it is true that his influence was most direct in the case of natural history, yet in this respect also he pointed to the future, for the geographers of to-day are in debted to the naturalists for some of their finest generalisations.

Download or read book Geographical Nature Studies written by Frank Owen Payne and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2019-02-16 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Geographical Nature Studies: For Primary Work in Home Geography No two subjects of study in the primary grades are more closely and naturally correlated than Nature Study and Observational or Home Geography, for all phenomena within our ken, whether they have to do with man or nature, may be classed under some aspect of the many-sided and comprehensive science of Geography. In the first three school years these subjects are often taught orally; but with most teachers such oral instruction involves an undue amount of labor in preparing the lessons, and not infrequently leads to but vague and unsatisfactory results. This little reading book for primary pupils is designed to lighten the work of the teacher, and by pointing out the often unrecognized relations between familiar phenomena and Home Geography will guide the study of the class to definite and practical ends. The various lessons are adapted to the comprehension of the youngest pupils, and are calculated not only to cultivate habits of accurate observation, but to stimulate a desire for more knowledge and broader views of the world about us. They lead directly up to the point where the more formal study of geography from a text-book begins. The form and construction of these lessons is such that they may be used both as reading exercises and also for topical recitations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recreations in Physical Geography: Or the Earth as It Is ON a former occasion, we laid before our readers a concise view of Geology, or the Earth in its former condition; the object of the present volume is to offer a general outline of the earth AS IT is. Geology may be compared to Ancient History, around which distance of time and partial obscurity throw the halo of classical interest. Physical geography, on the other hand, resembles Modern History, or rather, perhaps, records of daily recurring events - events in which our own personal interests are concerned. And should it be thought that our present subject does not possess the peculiar charm with which antiquity invests the science of Geo logy, it will be found, that it does not yield to that, or to any other, in importance, or in the interesting views it unfolds.

Download or read book A Brief Physical Geography Classic Reprint written by John W. Davis and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-14 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Brief Physical Geography The authors hope that this book will be welcomed in those schools in which the time is lacking to master the bulky books on Physical Geography, while yet the desire exists to devote to the subject some what more of endeavor than is required by the few pages on this subject found in the average school-geography. Geography is considered to-day as a description of the earth only in so far as that will account for the earth as the home of man and his occupations. It seems as if we can no longer justify a purely physi cal geography; now we want to know how man lives and Why he lives in this or that way. The most important fact about the earth is that' it is a human planet: men not only live upon it but also make a liv ing out of it. Man changes the earth, and the earth changes man. It is a far cry from the nebulous mass that was thrown off from the sun ages ago, to a contemplated aeroplane flight across the Atlantic or the completion of the Panama canal; but these are the limits of geographical study, and we have to bear in mind always that man is himself a part of nature. In the usual division of the study into physical, commercial, and political branches, the relation Of the human species to its natural environment, which is the keystone of all geographical science, is generally lost.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Please note, there are other reprints of this seminal text from other publishers, which have poor formatting - this edition has been reformatted with care and attention to detail. This is the classic reprint of George P. Marsh's 1864 ground breaking work on environmental philosophy and the effect of man on the natural world."The object of the present volume is: to indicate the character and, approximately, the extent of the changes produced by human action in the physical conditions of the globe we inhabit; to point out the dangers of imprudence and the necessity of caution in all operations which, on a large scale, interfere with the spontaneous arrangements of the organic or the inorganic world; to suggest the possibility and the importance of the restoration of disturbed harmonies and the material improvement of waste and exhausted regions; and, incidentally, to illustrate the doctrine, that man is, in both kind and degree, a power of a higher order than any of the other forms of animated life, which, like him, are nourished at the table of bounteous nature." - George Marsh
Download or read book Complete Geography Classic Reprint written by Alex Everett Frye and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-20 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Complete Geography Commerce. A work on geography that seeks to lay a broad basis for the study of nations must throw a strong search-light upon their commercial relations. Commerce and the related industries take a leading place in this book, - those of our own country being illustrated by twenty-two colored maps prepared expressly for this work. The intelligent study of a country's natural resources must be based on knowledge of its physical features. For this reason the surface-forms and the climate of the various parts of the world receive full treatment in the text, the maps and the pictures. The natural regions of the United States are made to serve as a basis for the comparative study of other lands. Order of Lessons. Though most teachers using this book will doubtless present the lessons in the order in which they appear, yet those who wish to complete the study of the United States in detail, before showing the broader relations of our country to other lands, can readily do so. The work is so arranged that pupils can go directly from the early lessons on the physical features and resources of our country (pages 30 to 52) to the study of its people, its government and its industries (pages 123 et seq).
