Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manual of Physical Geography The exercises in this "Manual" have, for the most part, grown out of the author's class-room experiences. There is presented a variety of exercises, some of them advanced in character, that will cover the topics capable of laboratory illustration usually presented in a course in physical geography. For such classes as cannot use the entire "Manual," the author suggests a selected list of exercises which are starred. Most of the exercises can be used in a different order from that given by omitting the references to other exercises. Some of the exercises and their order of presentation may require explanation. Considerable attention is given to elementary principles of mathematical geography. Many students of this phase of the science seem to have a vocabulary rather than an understanding of it. For example, rather few students know precisely why it is colder in winter than in summer, or why the seasons change. The author would urge thorough drill in these elementary principles and in the elementary facts of insolation.

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.

This book was released on 2018-03-15 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Field, Laboratory, and Library Manual in Physical Geography In offering this manual to the public the author wishes to express the hope that it may prove helpful to his fellow-teach ers, and that teachers and pupils alike may get from it at least a portion of the pleasure that he has taken in working out its exercises. The manual consists of readings and exercises selected from those which he has used in his own classes in the high school. He hopes that they may be of value in guiding others in their first attempts at scientific investigation and research. Physical geography gives the student a broader outlook than any other science in the curriculum of secondary schools. It is a proper culmination of the nature study of the grammar school, and an appropriate introduction to the more technical and rigid sciences of the high school. Its value arises in part from the fact that it touches nature in so many places. Its many sidedness and its alluring bypaths have tempted pupil and teacher alike. However enjoyable the physical side of it may be, it should not be forgotten that it is geography. Its greatest value arises from the fact that it introduces the student to his geographical environment and suggests to him how he may utilize it. Commerce, history, and even sociology have paid their tribute to this study. The intimate and necessary relation that exists between physical geography and history is the theme of more than one recent and valuable book. In this manual economic phases have been emphasized throughout. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book A Laboratory Manual of Physical Georgraphy Classic Reprint written by R. S. Tarr and published by . This book was released on 2016-06-14 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Laboratory Manual of Physical Georgraphy The subject of physical geography, above all others, leads to an appreciation by the pupil of the natural world in which he lives, and an introductory course in physical geography should include specifically a training in observation and deduction. In the planning and writing of this manual these fundamental concepts of the necessity of making the outlines at once practical and usable for the teacher with only a limited laboratory equipment, and at the same time offering to the pupil this training in observation and deduction in fact, compelling it have been constantly kept in mind, and it will be found that there is a specific purpose for each exercise and that the groups form coherent wholes. It is the belief of the authors, moreover, that the exercises cover the whole subject adequately, and that the order in which they are arranged will be found the best for presenting the subject. On both these points some teachers, for specific reasons, may take issue. This, however, implies no criticism, either on the manual as arranged or on the teacher; for, on the one hand, the loose-leaf construction of the manual makes it a very simple matter for the teacher to change the order or introduce other work; while on the other hand, the authors feel that teachers who are progressive, capable, and enthusiastic over the subject should be given the greatest latitude in carrying out their own ideas. The laboratory study of physical geography has an intense human interest and affords the best possible opportunity for the infusion of a strong teaching personality. A number of novel ideas and methods have been incorporated in this manual, but these new features are not to be regarded as experiments. The senior author has had over fifteen years experience and the junior author four in the laboratory teaching of physical geography, and the make-up of this manual incorporates plans that have been successfully used with classes after repeated changes and modifications to secure the best possible results. The feature which will first attract attention is the leaving of space after each question for the student to write the answer. This serves a double-purpose. It insures the students following the argument of the outline and the appreciation of every point by personal observation and deduction. The work thus becomes distinctly laboratory work and not essay writing under the delusion that laboratory work is being done. This latter condition is the greatest fault that the authors have found in most of the laboratory note-books, from various schools throughout the country, which have come under their inspection. In the second place this plan very materially lightens the labor of the overworked science teacher in inspecting the note-books of the students. There is a place for every answer and every answer should be in its place. Any incompleteness is readily detected, as is also the correctness of the students interpretations. Furthermore, the time of the student is conserved for the actual observations, inasmuch as there is no need for the laborious rewriting of questions in order to make the disconnected answers coherent. There is, however, sufficient space allowed after every exercise to permit of the insertion of other material presented by the teacher; accordingly, the exercises may vary considerably in different localities to insure a fuller understanding of local conditions.

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 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 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 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.
