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.

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.

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 Physiography: An Introduction to the Study of Nature I trust therefore that the book maybe useful to both learners and teachers; but, I am most concerned, that the latter should find in it the ground-work of an introduction to the study of nature, on which their practical experience will enable them to erect a far better superstructure than that which I have been able to raise.

Excerpt from Physiography for Advanced Students The course of elementary physiography, outlined in the helpful syllabus issued by the Department of Science and Art in 1896, constitutes an excellent introduction to physical science. In the advanced stage of the subject, the fundamental principles described in the elementary course are developed and expanded so that the two stages together provide the student with a comprehensive view of various branches of natural knowledge. A little book, entitled Physiography for Beginners, designed to assist students taking up the elementary stage of the subject, has met with so favourable a reception that the author has been encouraged to prepare a volume to cover the advanced course. The present book is the result. The plan which was adopted in the earlier part of supplying precise instructions for simple experiments to exemplify the principles underlying the phenomena described, has been adhered to, as well as that of briefly summarising the chapters and adding questions (some of them from examination papers in physiography) for home exercises, when the book is used in classes. A glance through the pages will, it is believed, afford justification for the hope that the general reader who is anxious to become acquainted with the causes of familiar natural phenomena, such as cyclones, tides, seismic disturbances, c., will find the volume serviceable and interesting.

Excerpt from Physiography for Beginners Under the guidance, and in the spirit of this new syllabus, an attempt has been made in this little book to provide the beginner with such an introduction to Physical Science. No knowledge of Mathematics, except an acquaintance with the ordinary processes of Arithmetic, has been assumed. The lessons have been made as experimental as possible. Not only have the experiments accompanying the syllabus in the recent Science and Art Directory been incorporated, but many others have been added. Those from the Directory are indicated thus.

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.

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 The Physiography of the United States: Ten Monographs The study of the origin of earth forms has made remarkable progress during the last twenty years, so that it is scarcely exaggeration to say that a new science has been created. While those who have aided in its development are learned investigators exploring the frontiers of human knowledge, the more important results are so simple as to be appreciated not only by intelligent laymen, but even by school children. Practical experiment has shown that the explanation of the work of rain and streams in the shaping of the earth is one of the most attractive and fruitful nature studies which can be introduced into primary and secondary schools, and a movement has been organized among educators for its extensive introduction. Professor W. M. Davis of Harvard University, who is a leader in this movement, proposed about two years ago that the National Geographic Society undertake the preparation of a series of essays on geographic subjects, enlisting in the work some of the numerous specialists in its membership, and making such arrangements for publication that the essays should be accessible to the teachers of the land. This proposition was developed and discussed at a conference held in Washington in June, 1894, and a few months later the managers of the society took action, appointing an editing committee under the chairmanship of Major J. W. Powell. Arrangements for publication were made with the American Book Company, and this volume is the first product of that cooperation.
