Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elementary Lessons in Physical Geography While, therefore, adhering to a systematic treat ment, I have been led to dwell, for example, on the phenomena of the atmosphere at much greater length than is usual in elementary class-books. These 'phenomena are among the most familiar and uni versal features of the globe; examples of them can be constantly adduced, and they may thus be used with singular advantage to illustrate how the facts of science are observed and its laws are deduced.

Download or read book A Class Book of Physical Geography Classic Reprint written by A. T. Simmons and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Class Book of Physical Geography Physical Geography as a school subject is concerned properly with those aspects of the Earth which determine or influence the life of man. It necessarily touches other departments of natural knowledge at many points, but in the following lessons the contributory sciences of astronomy, geology, meteorology, and physics are introduced only to the extent necessary to make clear some of the more obvious ways in which human life is affected by natural phenomena. Educationally regarded, Geography is a practical science practical, since it cannot be studied satisfactorily without the personal performance of observational and experimental exercises designed to lead the student to discover for himself fundamental facts and principles a science, in that the data with which it deals can be applied convincingly to man's needs only when their place in an orderly sequence of cause and effect is duly appreciated. The practical exercises set out at the beginning of the various sections of the book have been framed to lead each student to become - within the limits of the course of study - an independent observer able to reason intelligently on the facts he encounters. The descriptive text which follows each set of exercises provides a means of checking the results obtained and the conclusions arrived at by the student. It is urged that, although the descriptive portions of the volume will be found complete as a text-book, much of the educational value of their study will be lost by students who neglect the practical work.

Download or read book Laboratory Lessons in Physical Geography Classic Reprint written by Lu Lester Everly and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Laboratory Lessons in Physical Geography The exercises presented in this manual are intended to be sufficient for a full year's work, but they are so written that some may be omitted by classes that have not time for all, without detriment to those remaining. It is intended that the pages of questions and directions be bound with the answer papers in the notebook. In some exercises where the answers are short, blank spaces are left on the printed page that the answers may be written immediately after the questions. The loose leaf plan of binding gives Opportunity not only for the omission of exercises not needed, but also for the inser tion of such other exercises as any teacher may choose to give. To the same end, and also that the exercises may be taken in the order in which the topics are studied, the exercises are not numbered. Reference may be made to them by the page numbers at the bottom of the page. Pupils should pre serve all their papers, and at the end of the course arrange them in order, number the pages at the top, and write on the Table of Contents sheet (pp. 191, 192) the number, name, and pages of each exercise. The teacher will probably wish to examine and comment on each exercise as soon as it is done. The binding margin is a convenient place for marks, and also for the pupil's name, but the pupil must be careful not to let his writing run into this margin. Some of the exercises require heat, water, and considerable apparatus - not always to be had at each pupil's desk. It is suggested that such exercises be assigned, the day before they are to be done, to several pupils, who shall have the preparations complete, and perform the experiments in the presence of_the class. All members of the class should then write up the exercise. Most of the exercises have questions at the end called Advanced. These questions are usually more difficult than those preced ing, and are intended for the rapid workers who finish the main questions before the majority of the class are through.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elements of Physical Geography There are good textbooks on physical geography, but there are many teachers and school departments not satisfied with any of them. The author has endeavored to meet the require ments of these teachers as far as such needs could be ascertained. With a subject as broad as physical geography there will al ways be lack of uniformity in the manner of presentation, as well (as in the subject matter. The subject is one which is undergoing many changes, and it is possible that both the teachers and the subject may be ahead of present textbooks in many particulars. Every class in physical geography should have more or less laboratory and field work associated with the textbook. One of the functions of the textbook not the only one, by any means is to serve as a handbook, which the pupil studies as an aid in the interpretation of what he sees in the labora tory.

This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lessons in Geography, Including Mathematical, Physical, and Political Geography The various things around us, of which we gain a knowledge by our senses, are objects, or forms of matter. These objects all have length, breadth, and thickness, i.e. they extend in three directions. Since objects have extension, they must have something in which to extend. This something we call space. Space. - Space is the possibility of extension; a necessary condition to the existence of matter. Solid. - A solid is a limited portion of space having extension in three directions. Material Solid. - A material solid is a limited portion of space filled with matter. Surface. - A surface is limited extension in two directions. The boundaries or limits of a solid are surfaces. Line. - A line is extension in one direction. The boundaries or limits of a surface arc lines. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Physical Geography Classic Reprint written by Philip Lake and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-02 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Physical Geography Certain preliminary matters which are often treated under the head of Physical Geography, but which do not properly belong to that subject, are omitted. It is assumed, for instance, that the reader understands the principles of the barometer and the thermometer, and that he has some acquaintance with the motions of the earth and the moon. But no one who has been through a general elementary course in science, such as is now given in most secondary schools, should meet with any difficulty. A few words as to the arrangement adopted may be of use, especially to teachers who may wish to know how far the book will be serviceable in their own classes. The book falls naturally into three sections dealing respectively with the atmosphere, the ocean and the land. Logically the study of physical geography may begin either with the atmosphere or with the land, and it is mainly a matter of convenience which of these courses should be followed. The two branches of the subject are to so large an extent independent that, if desired, the section on the land may be read before the section on the atmosphere. But the study of the atmosphere should always precede that of the ocean. In planning a course, however, there is one consideration that should be borne in mind. It is easy to arrange a useful series of laboratory lessons upon the atmosphere or the ocean; but in the case of the land comparatively little laboratory work is possible and the most valuable form of practical work consists of excursions in the field. Consequently there are advantages in dealing with the atmosphere during the winter months and with the land during the summer. But much depends upon the circumstances under which the course is given.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Questions in Geikie's Elementary Physical Geography With the view of aiding Teachers in the use of the Elementary Lessons in Physical Geography, I have prepared the following series of Questions. It is obviously desir able that as frequently as possible the question should be so framed that the au swer cannot be given in the mere words of the Lesson, but requires that the meaning of the paragraph to which it refers be first clearly apprehended. Much advantage will accrue from c0pious exercises upon the Maps, of which enlarged copies for use as diagrams Will be found serviceable. Ad vantage should likewise be taken of every opportunity of illustration from familiar or easily observable phenomena. Examples are given in the Lessons to show how this may be done (see, for instance, Lesson This method, to be adopted in every subject where it is admissible, may be carried into effect in oral teaching in a way which cannot of course.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Physical Geography As aids to the study of the text, a brief Summary is given at the close of each section, and a Topical Outline and a set of Review Questions are placed at the end of each chapter. It is believed that the great majority of teachers will wel come these aids. No teacher will, of course, be content to follow the questions absolutely and without modification; the individuality of the teacher will appear here, as else where. But these summaries, topics, and questions cover the essentials in the text; and their use as a basis for work, with such modifications and additions as may be deemed necessary, will be a far lighter task than the production of an entire series by the teacher. Thus, relieved of a form of drudgery, time will be available for the expenditure of energy in more profitable lines.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elementary Physical Geography The educational progress of recent years has resulted in two profitable advances for the venerable subject of Geography. A strong feeling has been developed in favor of treating the subject as a whole more rationally than heretofore, and a wholesome desire has arisen in favor of introducing some of its scientific aspects more generally into the school course. A natural accompaniment of this progress has been a demand for text-books that shall present Physical Geography in its modern scientific development as well as in an elementary form. The present book, reduced from the author's Physical Geography, has been prepared to meet this demand. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from High School Geography Of late years the study of Physical Geography has made rapid advances; it forms part of the course of study in higher schools, and has its lectureships and professorships in various universities of the United States and Europe. It is recognized not only as an important study in itself, cultivating the habit of observation and of associating cause and effect, but also as an introduction, or rather an incitement, to the study of various sciences. Physical Geography, a description of Nature in What pertains to the Earth, is eclectic in character. Resting mainly on Geology, and only to a less degree upon Meteor ology, it reaches out to Astronomy, to Mineralogy, to Chemistry, to Biology, and even to History and Political Economy.

This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Field and Laboratory Note Book in Physical Geography Professor Merrill adds a manual to the list that appears to fill a need in the schools arising from the fact that some of the manuals already published are too elementary and some are too far advanced. That is, some of them require too much purely mechanical work, giving the impression that the object is to occupy the hands of the pupil regardless of whether the exercise illustrates any principles or leads to any conclusions. The other class of manuals presumes too much on the previous knowledge and experience of the pupil for the early years of the school. This gap between the two kinds of manuals appears to be filled better by Professor Merrill's book than by any other that I have seen. It likewise is wider in its scope and covers the Whole field of Physical Geography more thoroughly than any other. It is a step in the right direction and I hope it may prove serviceable to all who use it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
