Présentation de l'éditeur
The successful development of Geography, considered as the study of the earth in relation to man, must be founded on Physical Geography, or Physiography, as it is coming to be called, the study of mans physical environment. No rational or scientific advance can be made in the former without an appropriate preparation in the latter. The earths physical features must not only be described, they must be explained, so that the understanding shall aid the memory in holding them in mind. They must not be presented apart from the manner in which they affect mans ways of living; attention must frequently be drawn to the association of human conditions with the environment by which they have been determined, in order to form the habit of looking at the features of the earth as prime factors in guiding the development of mankind. In brief, physiographic facts should be traced back to their causes and forward to their consequences; and thus the phrase causes and consequences comes to serve as a touchstone by which the treatment of the subject may be tested.
