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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Elements of Physical Geography: For the Use of Schools, Academies, and Colleges But the advances, during comparatively recent years, have been so marked that at the earnest request of teachers from all parts of the country the author has prepared a new book, based on the general lines of the old work, but practically rewritten. For convenience, the shape of the new book has been changed to a duodecimo, the size of the maps, however, being retained, by making them occupy the space of two pages, across which inserts are made. In the preparation of the new book the author has endeavored so to proportion the subject matter as to give due prominence to such topics as, in his judgment, would prove of greatest value to the student. In this direction physiography has been treated more fully than in the older book. At the same time, however, he has studiously avoided giving such an-undue prominence to this part of the science as would necessitate the suppression of equally important topics. The influence of geological agencies in giving the earth its present surface features has been fully treated, and yet not so fully as practically to exclude the influences of these features on the climate, and this, in its turn, on vegetable and animal life, especially on the development and civilization of earth's highest type of life, man.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elements of Physical and Classical Geography Such enlarged views, when they first break in upon the youthful mind in all their freshness and grandeur, have an elevating and ennobling effect and it is well worth the attention of an intelligent teacher, to watch the time when the impression can be made most deeply and lastingly. Supposing that the previous drill and discipline of school have equipped the student with the necessary implements, and given him the habit of using them adroitly, this is the fit moment, in the campaigning service of human life, for breaking ground in different directions, that it may be seen to which Of them his genius in clines so that, while he pushes his advanced posts a certain length in them all, he may concentrate his efforts in that line of operation where he feels they are most likely to be crowned with success.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Physical Geography The subject of Physical Geography, or Physiography, may be naturally divided into four parts: the earth as a globe, the atmosphere, the oceans, and the lands. Extra neons subjects, however interesting or important in them selves, such as the non-geographical elements of astronomy, the principles of physics, and the divisions of geological time, are carefully excluded.

It is touched upon because it affords many excellent illustrations of the manner in which the earth's physical features determine the distri-e bution of plants and animals, as well as of man; but the actual distribution. Of plants and animals, like that of land forms or of nations, is not considered. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.

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 First Book of Physical Geography IN preparing my Elementary Physical Geography, I attempted to present the subject in such a way as to put it forward in its more modern aspect, and particularly to include the new physiography, or science of land form. An effort was made to cover the entire ground in a very elementary way; but at once the difficulty arose that the field was so large, that even to present the subject in an elementary manner would require a good-sized book. To avoid this there were two things possible: one to omit some parts and curtail others; the other to com mence the consideration of some subjects with the assump tion that either the scholars knew the preliminary points, or that the teacher could explain them. Both of these methods of shortening the book were followed, but even then it grew to a size entirely too large for those schools in which the subject has a minor place. The result has been, that although this book has met with a success wholly unexpected, many teachers who wish to give instruction in the new physical geography, are unable to make use of it. It is partly in the hope of meeting the needs of these, that I have undertaken the prep aration of this smaller book, from which still other sub jeeta are omitted, but in which the attempt is made to start from the beginning, and make every topic thoroughly clear.

The central thought is Man in his relations to the earth. Pupils are led to the homes of the races. Note in the Index the references under People. United States. Every pupil should know a great deal about his own country, its physical features, climate, products, industries, commerce, states, cities, etc. More than a fourth of this book is devoted to the United States. See pages 58 to 79, and 115 to 140 inclusive. Commerce. Special maps and lessons are given on products and related industries leading to commerce. These are treated in their relations to climate and natural features. More stress than usual is laid on this subject, because of its influence on national life. Pictures. Nearly all the pictures were engraved directly from photographs and are true to nature. They present typical forms and supplement the text.
