Book excerpt: Now a new series on Peacock with Rainn Wilson, THE GEOGRAPHY OF BLISS is part travel memoir, part humor, and part twisted self-help guide that takes the viewer across the globe to investigate not what happiness is, but WHERE it is. Are people in Switzerland happier because it is the most democratic country in the world? Do citizens of Qatar, awash in petrodollars, find joy in all that cash? Is the King of Bhutan a visionary for his initiative to calculate Gross National Happiness? Why is Asheville, North Carolina so damn happy? In a unique mix of travel, psychology, science and humor, Eric Weiner answers those questions and many others, offering travelers of all moods some interesting new ideas for sunnier destinations and dispositions.

Download or read book Human Geography Peoples and Countries written by John M. Foote and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-16 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Human Geography Peoples and Countries, Vol. 1 In these primary grades they frequently include well-organized projects from the study of the home, the farm, the community or store, etc. The readers contain stories of Indian and Eskimo life, other selections contain material relating to the products, occupations, industries, and climatic conditions of our own country and foreign lands. With this rich background of information and concrete experience the child is adequately prepared to begin the study of Peoples and Countries. The position taken by many that the fourth grade child is entirely without preparation for the study of geography, and that he must necessarily begin with his immediate surroundings cannot be successfully sustained. Globe and Maps. - A globe is essential in teaching the shape, the relative size and the movements of the earth, and its relation to the sun and moon. No school can afford to be without one. Other equipment should include large colored physical and political wall maps of the United States, the world and each of the continents. Wall outline maps of continents and the blank black roller map are very helpful. Current News. - Current newspapers and magazines are filled with live interesting geographic material related to local, national and foreign questions. Encourage the pupils to read these publications and make contributions to the class. Train them to read publications, to observe the geographic material and report to the class. A typical daily paper of the Middle West recently examined contained in one issue eight articles on the first page, three on the second, two on the third, and a half dozen more scattered through the rest of the paper, every one of which contained geographic material, or required a knowledge of geography to be read intelligently. Every continent was included. Several of the articles would give excellent bases for problem study. Collections. - When studying a country or a large subject, the teacher should encourage the pupils to collect for class use as many specimens or articles relating to the subject as possible. Rocks, soils, minerals, woods, products, and so on may be assembled, put in boxes or bottles, or mounted on cardboard, properly labeled and made ready for teaching purposes. When studying the Indians of the Great North Woods, it stimulates interest to get together and use a collection of Indian relics, beads, arrow-points, basketry, etc. Sources from which such material can be obtained free or at small cost are suggested throughout the Manual. Begin collecting in advance of your needs. Assign to one child or a committee the task of securing and preparing for use the specimens needed for the study of wheat, to another the needs of corn, and so on. Pictures. - Pictures are entitled to special mention. In their several forms they are most valuable aids in teaching geography. They tell interesting stories, they assist in making ideas concrete, they give vivid impressions of distant places and people, they add a touch of reality to the printed page. Direct the attention of the child to the pictures of the text and teach him to read them as you do the printed page. They come from several sources, but most important is the text. They have been carefully chosen to illustrate the subject being taught. While it is highly desirable to use pictures from other sources, it is not likely that they will contribute nearly as much as those accompanying the subject matter of the textbook. Advantage should be taken of the child's natural desire to collect pictures. Make special assignments to individuals or committees for the collecting of pictures on given subjects, as lumber, the New England fisheries, cotton, western irrigation, etc. Pictures from magazines, advertisements, photographs and post cards should be carefully selected, and then classified according to subjects, countries, or industries, and filed i...

Download or read book Human Geography written by Erin H. Fouberg and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2020-01-22 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fouberg/Murphy: Human Geography: People, Place, and Culture, 12th Edition, teaches students to appreciate the diversity of people, places, and cultures, and understand the role people play in shaping our world. The goals of this edition are to provide geographic context to global, regional, national, and local issues and to teach students to think geographically and critically about these issues. Human Geography features beautifully designed maps, dozens of vibrant photographs taken by the author team, and author and guest field notes that help students see how geographers read cultural landscapes and use fieldwork to understand places. Fouberg’s Human Geography, 12th Edition, now integrates Threshold Concepts to help students develop their ability to think geographically. Once they learn and apply one of these concepts in the context of a given place, students integrate it into their thinking and can draw from it as they learn new material and explore other places.
Download or read book J Russell Smith written by Virginia M. Rowley and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2016-11-11 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the end of the nineteenth century, revolutionary developments began to take place in American geography. The humanization of the subject proceeded at a rapid pace, as did the application of geography to other fields. The changes were initiated at the college level, particularly in the schools of business, and later permeated the secondary and elementary levels. J. Russell Smith, Geographer, Educator, and Conservationist is a two-fold study of these developments. In part, it is an historical-geographical analysis of the development of human and economic geography in the United States. Essentially, its purpose is to evaluate the role of J. Russell Smith in the evolution of American geographic thought. Through his texts, ranging from the elementary to the college level, and his articles in both professional journals and popular magazines, Smith helped to formulate and publicize the concept, philosophy, and mechanics of human-economic geography. Through his establishment of departments of geography in the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and the School of Business of Columbia University, he helped lay the foundation for the training of professional geographers, as well as for the application of geography to the fields of economics and business. Finally his love of the land led him to crusade for the conservation of natural resources and to experiment with new plants and trees which gave promise of saving the land and yielding good economic returns. At the same time, his broad humanitarian vision also led him to support actively such causes as world peace and international citizenship. An extensive bibliography is included as well as a complete listing of all of Smith's writings. His wide range of interests makes this book meaningful, not only to individual readers, but also to many organizations, religious and philanthropic. Colleges and universities as well as the business world will also find this book appealing. Its clear organization, its pleasant style, and its humane concern combine to create a vivid account of an important subject and an excellent man.
