Excerpt from The Making of the Earth The origin of the earth deals with events of primeval antiquity and with conditions very different from those of the present time. Hence it is not surprising that we find the problem attended by many uncertainties, for we only know the earth after it has waxed old and we only look upon the earth's cold outer surface. Of one fact we can, however, be sure; the earth was originally part of a much larger and less compact mass, from which came all the other members of the Solar System. The earth is not unique in structure or material. Many of the heavenly bodies that we see in the sky at night are similar to the earth; for the spectroscope shows that some of them are composed of similar materials; some also of the fragments of shooting stars that fall upon the earth consist of the same minerals as the rocks of the earth's crust.

Excerpt from The Story of the Earth The science of our schools is, in a word, quantitative. That is, it concerns itself with exact measurements, accurate data, rigorous experiments, and demonstrations of laws which have to do with quantitative relationships. Hours are spent, for instance, in some of our high school laboratories, in the exact deter mination with a vernier caliper of the coefficient of expansion of aluminum. Such experiments are liable to be tedious, require much time, and thereby greatly limit the scope of the sciences taught. They are, moreover, entirely out of the reach of our elementary schools.

Excerpt from The Earth and Its Life No single man, if he spent his life in travel, could hope to gain more than an imperfect knowledge of a small portion of earth's surface. No man, whatever his gifts and industry, could hope to solve a millionth of the problems still unanswered concerning the earth and its life as we know it to-day. No one can say how old it is, yet we know that it is of an age so great that we cannot grasp it. We cannot conceive the slow processes that it passed through before it became a fit abode for life at all, nor the countless succeeding ages during which life was assuming its myriad forms. It took these vast stretches of time and these innumerable stages of development to make the earth and the life on it. The earth itself is the merest speck in the universe. It belongs to a system of which the star we call the sun is the centre; it depends upon the sun for its light and heat and life. The earth and other planets revolve round the sun, and the whole system, the solar system, as we call it, moves through space. The sun is one star. There are countless others. Some of these are centres of light and heat like the sun; others are travelling about in space, cold and dark.

Excerpt from The Development of Creation on the Earth The phenomena of nature, to which the following pages relate, cannot present themselves to any thinking mind Without claiming from it some solution. Hitherto we have been accustomed to suppose that we had before us, in an inspired record, a reliable account, in outline, of this earth's history, exhibiting to us the manner in which all things we observe were put into shape, or called into being, and the time when this was effected but as knowledge has advanced, the Biblical representa tions have become exposed as untenable, so that with most instructed persons it has become a necessity to frame, upon the ascertained facts, some surer ideal of the mode in which the creative processes have been carried out, and to form some conception of the true probable periods involved in bringing them to their present stage of development.

Excerpt from Life History of Our Planet With much of that which is called Popular Science the writer of these pages has no sympathy. To read from pages addressed to the memory only, that the sun is so many miles from the earth, is so many miles in diameter, and is enveloped in whirlwinds of tempestuous fire so fierce that if they could blow upon the earth they would reduce it in a few seconds to a mist of atoms, may help the mind to astronomi cal facts and set it aglow with wonder, but it does not teach it astronomy. To read in similar manner that rocks were formed so, or so; that oceans came to be in this wise or that wise; that continents rose through the play of these forces, or those; that life began in one form or in another, and to read how it unfolded and branched from order to order, may be entertain ing, but it may have little to do with geology.

Excerpt from Man and the Earth In this book I have endeavored to set forth certain reasons why there should be a change in the point of view from which we commonly regard the resources of the earth. As a teacher of Geology, I have seen that there is a complete lack of understanding in our communities as to the duty we owe to our successors in their use of these limited resources. In this regard our conduct is like that of children who take the good that comes to them with no thought of the hereafter. This attitude of men as regards the future of the material values of the earth notably contrasts with that they hold to the moral and political future of their kind. A large part of their thought and endeavor goes to that group of problems, but practically none at all to the immediate questions that relate to the material foundations on which all the higher development of the life of their kind has to rest. It is with some hope of directing attention to this neglected field of inquiry that I have written this book.

Excerpt from The Story of Our Planet IN writing this volume I have not had any intention of attempt ing to add another to the text-books of geology in the English language. Of these there is already an ample supply. Sir A. Geikie's Text-book of Geology, Professor Prestwich's Geology, and the edition of Phillips' Manual of Geology by Professor H. G. Seeley and Mr. R. Etheridge leave no gap to be filled among works of larger size, while a student not yet ripe for these has ample choice among books on smaller scale, which can be arranged in a graduated series from Mr. Jukes-browne's Handbook to the most elementary Primer.

Excerpt from Inheriting the Earth: Or the Geographical Factor, in National Development In brief, the theme of these chapters is that Place constitutes the essential and significant basis of all human association. Although the potency of environment in shaping the affairs of men has long been urged by geographers, and while the truth of this contention has won some recognition from students of history, sociology, and economics, yet the dominance of environmental control has not been generally accepted as an adequate foundation for a complete theory of history. The author is content to accept any denial of the ultimate importance of geography in shaping the past of mankind. This book has been written, not so much to show that human organization and development have been determined by geographic conditions, as to insist that in the future they should he. Nor does the author even hope that these pages will bring about any marked changes in the policies of statesmen. But this collection and restatement of the geographic factors involved in the rational occupation of the earth by man should prove useful if it help only a little to focus attention on the importance of home, and on the need for effective utilization of environmental resources; in the life of peoples and the welfare of nations.
