Excerpt from book: PHYSIOGRAPHIC REGIONS OF THE UNITED STATES. By J. W. Powell. Of a country so large as the United States no adequate physiographic description can be given within the limits of a monograph of this size. The purpose here is to define the great slopes, and then a greater number of physiographic regions, which are again divided into districts, and to indicate some of their more important characteristics. Three of the regions have been selected for a somewhat more elaborate description, ?one of plains, one of plateaus, and one of mountains, ? thus illustrating briefly all three types. These regions are the Atlantic Plains, the Colorado Plateaus, and the Pacific Mountains, taking the eastern, a midland, and the -western region. It will be noticed that an old custom of describing great physiographic regions in units of basins has not been followed. Against that plan there are insuperable objections. Where there are large rivers, there are large basins, and such are again subdivided into ever smaller and smaller basins; and where there are oceans and gulfs, there are many small disconnected basins; so that the basin unit divides the country into very unequal parts, and fails to exhibit the association of great features that are intimately connected in physiographic history. Gradually, as the new science of physiography has grown, physiographic regions have come to be recognized; and an attempt is here made, by map and verbal description, to define the principal regions of the United States, exclusive of Alaska. The regions here delineated are held to be natural divisions, because in every case the several parts are involved in a common history by which the present physiographic features have (Copyright, 1895, by American Book Company.) 65 been developed. They have been ..

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.
