Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Steps in Geography Aim. - 'the aim is to show man's relations to nature. These relations are traced through such broad topics as surface features, climate, products, industries, trade, states, cities, etc. Commerce. - History follows routes of trade. For this reason commerce takes a leading place in this book. Products and industries leading to commerce are given many special maps and lessons. This is clearly shown on pages 55 to 65, where cities are treated in their industrial relations. United States. - Every pupil should know the leading facts about his own country. A large part of this book is devoted to the United States. Pictures. - The pictures supplement the text and are true to nature. Nearly all were engraved from photographs. Maps - Special attention is called to the number and variety of maps, as well as to their accuracy. For example, under North America see the shaded relief map on page 40; colored relief map and zone map on page 41; political map on page 43; plant and animal maps on pages 45 and 46. The great relief map of the United States on pages 140 to 141 is photographed from a raised model. The Philippine maps on pages 117 to 121 will be of great help in following current events. Helps. - The Helps after each lesson are to guide pupils towards the leading facts, as well as to help the busy teachers. Pupils should answer questions not in the words of the book but in their own language. Teachers will be pleased to note that only in rare cases is it necessary to turn a leaf to find answers to questions. Spelling - In spelling and usage of geographic names the maps and text follow the rulings of the United States Board on Geographic Names. This book adopts the best modern usage and allows the capital letter in specific names, such as Rhine and Andes, but not in common class names, such as river and mountains, - thus, Rhine river, Andes mountains.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from First Notions of Geography Any text on geography would be unintelligible without il lustrations, and the illustration peculiar to geography is the map. This little book lays the foundation for the study of the map by the lessons on direction and on the elevations and depressions of the earth's surface. The forces of nature, and the various phenomena connected with the sun, moon, and stars, are all closely related to geography, and cannot be overlooked in any presentation of that subject, however simple. The lessons on the materials which supply our food, clothing, and shelter are an introduction to that larger study of geography which reveals how nature and the forces of nature have been made to render service to man.

It offers a brief course to pupils that must leave school after only two years of geography study, and it also leads by easy steps to the larger geography. Aim. - The aim is to show man's relations to nature.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Own Islands: An Elementary Study in Geography IN this little book an attempt is made to teach some geography to children, with a human mean ing in each chapter, and no unnecessary names. I do not pretend to begin at the beginning, for the first steps must be trodden with the help of the living teacher alone. Along what path those steps should be guided I have discussed in lectures on the study of geography which I hope shortly to publish. Nor havei tried to make each sentence evident, and to remove all difficulties, for I have assumed that the teacher will supply illustrations accord ing to the locality of his school, and as the know ledge and aptitude of his pupils may require. My Object has been to stimulate and lead oral instruction, not to supplant it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Geographies: First Book Relationship to Man. In the former preface the authors defined geography as the science which treats of the rela tion between man and the earth, and the text was written upon this basis. It was difficult ten years ago to apply this idea extensively, because so little had been previously accomplished in this direction. The authors feel that one of the most important improve ments in the present volume has been effected at that point. Every topic has been approached, and receives its entire consideration, from the point of view of man's interest in it. Descriptions of continents and countries offered without reference to human relationships are likely to be colorless and tiresome to the young mind.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Complete Geography We have decided to teach these features objectively on a plan that has been highly commended. For instance. Instead of devoting two or three pages of text to the origin of mountains. A subject in which the average child takes no interest, we give in the general presentation of the physical geography of the earth four pictures of mountains, and under each picture give a brief description of the origin and character of the formation. The same course has been followed with reference to other physical features. The pupil will read these descriptions because of his interest in the picture, and will remember them for life because of their association with it. Commercial and Industrial Geography. - A leading feature of this book is the treatment of industrial and commercial geography. In actual life, it is a knowledge of the countries of the earth, and of the people who inhabit them, of their resources and industries, their cities and commercial relations, that one needs for practical business purposes, or even for an intelligent appreciation of the contents of the daily newspapers. Industrial Illustrations. - In carrying out this plan we have been engaged for three years past in collecting from all parts of the world industrial pictures - photographs showing machinery in actual operation, and under these we have placed descriptions which give in a few words a clear idea of the process of manufacture. We have distributed these throughout the book in such a way as to identify each industry with some state or country where it is especially prominent. We believe that this plan will awaken present interest and prove of permanent value. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
