Book Description
Excerpt from A Physical, Historical, Political and Descriptive Geography 1. The first and most important question that Geography has to answer is where? In order to answer this - to describe where any place or object is - it is necessary to understand what is meant by direction and distance. If we go out into the open fields, the sky above appears like a vast dome that reaches down to the earth on all sides, forming a great circle in the centre of which we are standing. This circle, where earth and sky seem to meet, being the limit or boundary of what we can see, is called the horizon. Every morning the sun seems to rise near the same part of the horizon circle, and to climb slowly up into the arch of the sky during the day, descending again gradually till it disappears in the evening at a point opposite to that at which it was first seen. If we watch this apparent movement of the sun across the sky from day to day, we shall soon notice that the sun appears in the same direction from us, or over the same house, or hill, or church, or wood, every day at noon, or when it is highest.
