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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dawn of Modern Geography: A History of Exploration and Geographical Science The illustrations we have to offer are principally of the maps of this time. Crude and curious as they may be, they are not the less instructive. For they are the only examples of map-science that have survived to us from their age. To these a few more or less plausible attempts at the recon struction of lost map-schemes have been added; as well as a few illustrations of places or objects which have some connection with the more extensive or remarkable travels of the time.

This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 704 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dawn of Modern Geography, Vol. 2 IN a former volume we attempted to trace the story of geographical movements and the records of travellers and men of science from the conversion of the Roman Empire to the close of the ninth century, thus arriving at one of the darkest periods of the Middle Ages. In the present, or second, part of this survey of mediaeval geography our task will be a different one. For here we begin upon a ground which seems well-nigh entirely barren; we cross that desert which separates the earlier and later Middle Age, the 'romanesque' and the 'gothic'; and we follow the streamlet of western enterprise as it leads us into a country far richer and more abundant than any we have traversed since the age of Constantine (ad. 900.

Download or read book A Practical System of Modern Geography written by J. Olney and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Practical System of Modern Geography: Or a View of the Present State of the World This I am confident will be found not only the natural, but the philosophical method of teaching Geography; for on all subjects the learner must make himself master of simple things, before he can understand those which are complex. In the present instance, the pupil begins with confidence and alacrity, because he not only knows something about his own town, but the subject itself is highly interesting to him. From these simple descriptions, the pupil is gradually led on, by a series of the plainest and most important questions, to a knowledge of the grand divisions of the globe. When he has become familiar with these divisions, and can without hesitation point them out on the map, he is qualified to commence the Second part. In this part, after a few general observations on the divisions, he is required to learn on the map, the boundaries, names of rivers, towns, &c., and then he commences with a description of the several countries which it contains. In every department of description, great care has been taken to select what is most important for the pupil to know, and to commit to memory, and to reject whatever is of little use; for experience has taught me that long descriptions, however judiciously arranged, do not fail to tire and discourage the young pupil. Some of the more prominent features of the country are therefore all that should be required of the beginner. This work will be found to possess some peculiarities. The use of initial letters, in particular, I consider of much consequence in enabling the pupil to determine the correct answers; so that it is believed in going through the entire work, he will seldom require any assistance from his teacher. The Third part treats of Latitude and Longitude; and perhaps no part of the work is of more importance than this, and particularly as most books of this kind are deficient in this respect. The Fourth part contains an introduction to Astronomy and Physical Geography, together with problems on the Globes, and a Table of Latitude and Longitude of all the principal places on the earth. The numerous tables which the work contains, it is hoped will be found useful and correct. Some of them have been copied with little variation from Morse and Malte Brun, and others have been arranged with much care and considerable labor, expressly for the work. In giving this little volume to the public, I cannot but entertain the hope that I shall contribute in some degree to our improved method of teaching a science so necessary and popular as that of Geography. But how far I shall have the satisfaction of seeing this hope realized, the public must determine. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Business Geography Modern geography has become a definite science. Its principles are so well defined that a knowledge of the physical conditions under which a race has lived and now lives gives a reasonably reliable indi cation as to the capacity, activity, Occupations, and business relap tions of that race. In studying this growing science the first step is to understand the main principles. That is the reason for Part I of this book. A second step is to apply the principles to concrete prob lems as is done in Part II. There the community engaged in a particular line of activity is taken as the unit in Order that the geographical relationships may first be studied in relatively simple forms before going on to the more complex regional studies of Parts III and IV. In the regional chapters the aim is to give a clear conception of the way in which geographic conditions influence the products of a region, the capacity of the people, the direction in which their activities are turned, and the nature and extent of their business relations with other regions.

Download or read book The Groundwork of Modern Geography an Introduction to the Science of Geography Classic Reprint written by Albert Wilmore and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-27 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Groundwork of Modern Geography an Introduction to the Science of Geography The writer of a book on Geography can scarcely hope to be really original but every writer or teacher may emphasise those parts of the science which appeal most strongly to him, or which seem to him to be most important. In this book the author has exercised this privilege freely, and has followed what appears to him to be a natural sequence. It is perfectly obvious, however, that other writers may prefer a different order, and may choose to emphasise other aspects of this wide science. Limits of space have necessitated the sacrifice of Mathematical Geography and Cartography, and the important branch Oceanography is only incidentally mentioned. The author has had in View a book which may provide, within moderate compass, an introduction to the so-called New Geography. It is hoped that not only the student but also the intelligent general reader may find the book of some interest, and that it may serve as a preparation for, and a stimulus to, the reading of one or more of the excellent monographs or Regional Geographies now available in English. The admirable series The Regions of the World, edited by Mr. Mackinder, and the stimulating Europe, by Prof. Lyde, may be mentioned as examples of books to which the present groundwork may possibly serve as an introduction.

Download or read book Our Home and Its Surroundings written by Ralph S. Tarr and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-08-07 with total page 172 pages. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Teaching of Geography To all students of geography it is a lamentable fact that there is even yet a lack of respect for this branch of science. Though we have a new geography rich and vital in its possibilities to contribute to twentieth century education, yet all too many teachers are oblivious of the significance and value of the subject and, in the schoolroom, are rattling the dry bones of formal statement and definition. Their view of the subject, and their method of teaching it, restricts its value and curtails the interest which it ought to enlist from pupils. The object of this volume is, first of all, to present and instill in the minds of teachers the true nature of modern geography. Therefore Part I is devoted to the Nature and Scope of Geography. It is hoped that its careful study will result in establishing a correct and broad view of a subject whose content is rich in edu cative possibilities.
