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.

Excerpt from An Advanced Practical Physical Geography for Public and Scondary Schools IN writing this book it has been the aim of the authors to present a clear and logical account of geographical phenomena. To do this it has been found necessary to touch lightly some of the main principles of other sciences, such as astronomy, mathematics, geology, and biology. Moreover, in order to comply with and help forward the growing tendency to consider geography as the science which above all others is full of every phase of human interest, the authors have made a definite attempt to show the relation that exists between man and the chief phenomena of nature. Not the least.factor in this attempt is the choice of experiments and practical exer cises, which are for the most part based upon common experience. At the same time the authors have been careful not to include any such exercises as would be un suitable or inconvenient in schools. It is intended that the book shall be a standard text-book for students in training-colleges; for thosein the middle and higher forms in secondary schools, and more especially for pupils taking the Advanced Course - recognized by the Board of Educa tion - in Geography.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1908 edition. Excerpt: ... EXERCISE V. THE SCULPTURE OF MOUNTAINS Object. To explain various features of mountain ranges. Preliminary, 1 1 1 gives a general view over a rolling district of low hills and shallow valleys, all covered with a deep weathered soil. The district is drained by a large river and many smaller streams, all flowing quietly and smoothly through their flood plains. The soils vary from place to place, as if the underlying rocks were of different kinds. Some low mountains rise in the E. and NW.; there the soil is thinner and more stony. The view is cut off in front by a vertical section, the baseline of which is at sea level. Altitudes are marked at various points; a scale of altitudes is drawn near the NE. corner, and a scale of miles along the front baseline. This exercise uses 11,12,14,13,16,1-22 [also 37 1-5]. Note that Plate 14 is to be used before Plate 13. 1. 1. The distance along the winding river A to E, 111, being 30 mi., what is the average fall of the river in feet per mile? 2. If E is 600 mi. from the river mouth, what is the average fall from E to the sea? 3. What is (about) the width of the main river flood plain? 4. The altitudes on stream (or small river) F (SE. corner of 111) are indicated for points two miles apart. What is its average fall? the width of its flood plain? 5. Why may the streams of this district be described as "thoroughly graded with respect to their general baselevel" (the ocean)? 6. What is the general altitude of the interfluves, or spaces between the small rivers (see foreground profile)? their relief? 7. What is the altitude of the highest mountain on the N. border? the general relief in that mountain group? Note: To find (roughly) the height of the mountain above the surrounding district, draw a straight...

Excerpt from Lessons in Physical Geography This book has been written in the belief that physical geography is not only interesting and valuable in its sub ject matter, but is capable, when properly presented, of developing a scientific habit of mind. No attempt is made to discuss all the physical features of the earth, or those of any special region. The best type forms are selected and treated with sufficient fullness to give a clear and definite picture. From a study of the type general laws are developed, and the student is thus provided with a key for the solution of geographical problems wherever they may arise. Each topic is treated inductively. The essential facts are first given, and the student is then guided to a knowledge of their causes, significance, and results. This plan makes it possible to avoid in some degree the vague generalizations which are characteristic of most text-books. The student is in possession of a sufficient number of facts to enable him to see the basis and appreciate the value of the generalizations which follow. A large number of realistic exercises are introduced which appeal to the actual or possible experience of the student. They are designed not for the purpose of discovery but of realization, and to give some idea of the methods and possibilities of geo graphic research. These exercises include both field and laboratory work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Practical Physiography The last few years have withnessed important changes in the text-books pertaining to Physical Geography. The study of the world as a fixed model has given place to the study of a world whose physical features are undergoing continual change. This change is in turn seen to affect the climate and the life conditions of plants and animals, and to have an important influence upov the activities of men. The number of books treating the subject from this newer point of view has rapidly increased, and several of them are so excellent that there would appear to be scarcely room for another book covering the same ground in the same manner. It seems to the author, however, that the evolution of better methods of teaching Physical Geography is still going on. The student will never gain what he should from the study until the use of the text-book is supplemented, not by the indoor laboratory method, for that would take the life out of the subject, but by the study of nature itself in the great outdoor laboratory. It is not the amount of ground gone over; it is not what is memorized from a textbook; it is not watching experiments in the class room, which makes Physical Geography, or Physiography as we prefer to call it, of value in the high school. It is rather the gaining of an ability to understand the meaning of the phenomena of the land, the water, and the air, and the relation of all life to them. For this purpose nothing can take the place of excursions and the study of the real world. The author has tried to work out in the present volume a practical concrete treatment of the subject along these lines. The book is intended as an aid to study, not as a compendium of information. Consequently a description of the world as a whole is omitted. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The progress made in this branch Of earth science during recent years has been so rapid that any text-book in which the modern aspects Of the science are presented must awaken many questions in the teacher's mind. It is with the desire to answer these questions that the following sug gestions and explanations have been written out. A num ber Of laboratory exercises are here outlined; but a.
