Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Iowa State Geography A clear conception of the plan and purpose of this book will save worry and unnecessary work on the part of both the pupils and the teacher. It has been customary to follow the regular textbooks in geography with a brief state supplement made up of salient unrelated facts - a sort of compendium of information for the pupil who had completed his regular course in geography. This book is in no sense a supplement. On the contrary, it is designed to be used as a separate text in the intermediate grades. Due allowance being made for local variations in the course of study, it is now generally conceded that this sort of state study should precede the study of the Central Plains, of which Iowa is a part, and the sectional study of the United States. This text therefore begins with the home region and may be followed by closely related larger units. It is taken for granted that the pupil knows how to read the globe and the map of North America; that he can follow meridians and parallels and can understand the indications of highlands and lowlands on the map. Necessary maps for reference are included, but it is the aim in this study to give the child usable knowledge of his im mediate environment and to develop his ability to interpret properly as many usable related facts as can be presented. Teachers have complained that it is difficult to find proper usable material. Much that is available has been written for adults and is beyond the ability of the child to understand. It is the purpose of this book, therefore, to furnish proper material. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Dodge s Geography of Iowa Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by Wesley N. Clifford and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-21 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dodge's Geography of Iowa, Vol. 1 In a special text-book devoted to one state or group of states we can learn more about our own region, its important surface features, its climate, the occupations of its people, its products, its local commerce, its history, its chief cities, and many other features of great interest to us. Hence we need to make a special study of our home locality after we have studied the larger region Of which it is an important part. A local geography is not only valuable for study in school that we may know well the region about us, but it is valuable also as a reference volume to which we can refer for facts about our own state in our homes whenever in our reading or conversation some question arises concerning our own state which needs to be answered at once. In this text-book the surface features, the climate, the soil and other natural resources which determine the occupations of the people are studied first because they are the large features which determine the distribution and success of industries. One of the great lessons the student learns in geography is Man's absolute dependence upon Nature for his existence. In Iowa, as in other regions, topography and climate pointed out the path of development that communities must follow in order to make sure their existence within its borders. In the pages that follow, the student finds traced the fundamental conditions that have moulded Iowa life. After these come the historical events that are landmarks in the growth of the state, and then the study of the industrial and commercial features is taken up. To these, which explain the reasons for the development and growth of the larger cities, and which show us why our own region is important to the country as a whole, careful attention has been given.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Way to Iowa: An Address Delivered at Iowa City Iowa Before the State Historical Society of Iowa on May the Twenty-Fifth, Nineteen Hundred Ten The crude astrolabes used by the early naviga tors enabled them to determine latitudes with reasonable accuracy, but the determination of longitude at sea requires some form of chronom eter, and timepieces had not yet been brought to any degree of perfection. And so, even after Sir Francis Drake had sailed far up the Pacific coast of North Arnerica, there was no adequate conception of the breadth of the continent.

Download or read book American Capitals written by Christian Montès and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2014-01-10 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: State capitals are an indelible part of the American psyche, spatial representations of state power and national identity. Learning them by heart is a rite of passage in grade school, a pedagogical exercise that emphasizes the importance of committing place-names to memory. But geographers have yet to analyze state capitals in any depth. In American Capitals, Christian Montès takes us on a well-researched journey across America—from Augusta to Sacramento, Albany to Baton Rouge—shedding light along the way on the historical circumstances that led to their appointment, their success or failure, and their evolution over time. While all state capitals have a number of characteristics in common—as symbols of the state, as embodiments of political power and decision making, as public spaces with private interests—Montès does not interpret them through a single lens, in large part because of the differences in their spatial and historical evolutionary patterns. Some have remained small, while others have evolved into bustling metropolises, and Montès explores the dynamics of change and growth. All but eleven state capitals were established in the nineteenth century, thirty-five before 1861, but, rather astonishingly, only eight of the fifty states have maintained their original capitals. Despite their revered status as the most monumental and historical cities in America, capitals come from surprisingly humble beginnings, often plagued by instability, conflict, hostility, and corruption. Montès reminds us of the period in which they came about, “an era of pioneer and idealized territorial vision,” coupled with a still-evolving American citizenry and democracy.
