Book excerpt: Excerpt from The World Flat-Globe and International Geographical History of the World The World Flat-Globe and International Geographical History (two parts) comprise together a new and wonderfully convenient twentieth-century system of world-wide and international review and reference. Each is necessary to the intelligent and satisfactory use of the other. They are complete, up-to-the-minute, concise and exhaustive and leave nothing to be desired in reviewing past history and following current events. They have been most carefully prepared and edited by the master minds of the geographical world. The Plat-Globe pictures the entire earths surface at a glance all lands and waters, in proper size, proportion and relation, as maps, atlases and charts cannot do. The History explains and describes ail the forces and movements of Nature and mans activities and pursuits upon the earth from the earliest records to his wonderful and varied achievements of today; through the slow movements of his conquest of Nature, the annihilation of time and distance in intercommunication and transportation, and his progress in social and governmental life, as well as the production and distribution of products of the soil, mines and sea, and in the multitude of industries he has developed and organized and the national and international financial systems necessary to their successful prosecution. The following chapters tell the story of the ages in clear and simple form, more interesting and fascinating than any romance or novel. Mans thousands of years of continuous mental effort and physical labor, and the expenditure of untold wealth, have produced the conditions of human life of today. The reading of this story gives the wide horizons broader view and is an education in itself for every man, woman and child. The Flat-Globe and History are offered at a price so low as to be within the easy reach of everyone. Every place of learning, home, office and place of business can now have a beautiful large World-Globe and complete International Geographical History. They are pronounced by the leading minds best qualified to judge, the greatest production of intelligence the world has ever seen at the price.

Download or read book Flat Earth written by Christine Garwood and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2008-08-05 with total page 623 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contrary to popular belief fostered in countless school classrooms the world over, Christopher Columbus did not discover that the earth was round. The idea of a spherical world had been widely accepted in educated circles from as early as the fourth century B.C. Yet, bizarrely, it was not until the supposedly more rational nineteenth century that the notion of a flat earth really took hold. Even more bizarrely, it persists to this day, despite Apollo missions and widely publicized pictures of the decidedly spherical Earth from space. Based on a range of original sources, Garwood's history of flat-Earth beliefs---from the Babylonians to the present day---raises issues central to the history and philosophy of science, its relationship to religion and the making of human knowledge about the natural world. Flat Earth is the first definitive study of one of history's most notorious and persistent ideas, and it evokes all the intellectual, philosophical, and spiritual turmoil of the modern age. Ranging from ancient Greece, through Victorian England, to modern-day America, this is a story that encompasses religion, science, and pseudoscience, as well as a spectacular array of people and places. Where else could eccentric aristocrats, fundamentalist preachers, and conspiracy theorists appear alongside Copernicus, Newton, and NASA, except in an account of such a legendary misconception? Thoroughly enjoyable and illuminating, Flat Earth is social and intellectual history at its best.

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.

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.

Download or read book Geography and World Power Classic Reprint written by James Fairgrieve and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-15 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Geography and World Power But history is not all repetition. There has been an advance. If we go back a year or two we mav not notice it, but if we cast our thoughts back some centuries and look all over the world, we are conscious that some thing oi an advance has been made, and if we consider the whole history of the world the progress becomes most evident. We may be very doubtful how to express what we mean by advance, but none the less we feel it is there. We are conscious, for example, that during historic times men's ideas of what is right and wrong have undergone a change which, on the whole, is for the better. But this is only one side of the advance. There are other obvious ways in which a change for the better has taken place. We are better off not only morally and intellectually, but materially; we have better clothes; our food is better; we have more conveniences; we have more time for ourselves than had men who lived centuries ago. In a thousand ways we know that on the average it is a great deal better to be alive in the twentieth century a.d. Than to have lived five thousand years ago.
