Book Description
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.

Book Description
Excerpt from Lessons in Geography, Including Mathematical, Physical, and Political Geography The various things around us, of which we gain a knowledge by our senses, are objects, or forms of matter. These objects all have length, breadth, and thickness, i.e. they extend in three directions. Since objects have extension, they must have something in which to extend. This something we call space. Space. - Space is the possibility of extension; a necessary condition to the existence of matter. Solid. - A solid is a limited portion of space having extension in three directions. Material Solid. - A material solid is a limited portion of space filled with matter. Surface. - A surface is limited extension in two directions. The boundaries or limits of a solid are surfaces. Line. - A line is extension in one direction. The boundaries or limits of a surface arc lines. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from High School Physical Geography While the principles of Physical Geography belong to the earth as a whole, and type cases are cited from all regions, the greater emphasis is put on our continent. A separate chapter on North America would pass our limit of space, but when the entire text has been read, all the greater features of the continent will have received attention.

Book Description
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.

Book Description
Excerpt from Physical Geography Certain preliminary matters which are often treated under the head of Physical Geography, but which do not properly belong to that subject, are omitted. It is assumed, for instance, that the reader understands the principles of the barometer and the thermometer, and that he has some acquaintance with the motions of the earth and the moon. But no one who has been through a general elementary course in science, such as is now given in most secondary schools, should meet with any difficulty. A few words as to the arrangement adopted may be of use, especially to teachers who may wish to know how far the book will be serviceable in their own classes. The book falls naturally into three sections dealing respectively with the atmosphere, the ocean and the land. Logically the study of physical geography may begin either with the atmosphere or with the land, and it is mainly a matter of convenience which of these courses should be followed. The two branches of the subject are to so large an extent independent that, if desired, the section on the land may be read before the section on the atmosphere. But the study of the atmosphere should always precede that of the ocean. In planning a course, however, there is one consideration that should be borne in mind. It is easy to arrange a useful series of laboratory lessons upon the atmosphere or the ocean; but in the case of the land comparatively little laboratory work is possible and the most valuable form of practical work consists of excursions in the field. Consequently there are advantages in dealing with the atmosphere during the winter months and with the land during the summer. But much depends upon the circumstances under which the course is given.

Book Description
Excerpt from New Physical Geography In' the New Physical Geography, treatment Of the lands has been placed before that Of air and ocean because so many schools commence the study in the fall and take classes into the field. The chapters On atmosphere and ocean have been given less space than in the author's previous books; yet all topics of distinct importance are treated with sufficient fullness to make them clear. Perhaps the most decided difference between New Physical Geography and the author's other books lies in the introduction Of a much fuller treatment Of life in its relation to the land, air, and ocean, the human interest of each topic being emphasized. This has been done throughout the text, and, at the end of the book, in a series Of chapters devoted to that subject exclusively.
