A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The following computer-generated description may contain errors and does not represent the quality of the book.

CoxTRSES in physidEd geograpb have been given for years, with great success where conditions have been favorable, and with indifferent success in some other places. Recently there has been a widespread demand for a more general course in geography, particularly where physiography has not been thought wholly satisfactory, a course whidi should treat physiographic processes and features briefly, and develop at greater length the relations of earth, air, and water to life, and especially to human a Fairs. This book is designed to serve as the basis for such a course. The authors have sought to give the student (i) an imderstanding of the elements of geography,(2) an interest in the subject, and especially(3) training in clear thinking. Many of the facts of geography will be forgotten presently by most students, whUe the power and habit of thinking clearly will be of service in meeting every problem of later years. Indeed, the book has been written with the belief that tiie chief object in geography teaching should be preparation for citizenship. No subject is better adapted to this purpose. This conviction has led the authors to emphasize certain points now or likely soon to be of national importance, as, for example, the need of conserving the natural resources of the country. All rational work in general geography must be founded on physiography, and this fact has determined the organization of the material of this book. The principles developed have been applied at greatest length to the United States, because this coimtry is of most interest and importance to American students. Furthermore, space forbade the application of these principles in detail to other countries. The illustrations should be regarded by the teacher as vital. They are intended to serve as the basis for classroom discussions and qiiizzes, and should be studied and interpreted as carefully as the text itsdf. The answers to most of the questions which appear at the ends of the chapters and elsewhere are not to be foimd in the text, but may be reasoned out by the student if he has read the text with understanding.

Courses in physical geography have been given for years, with great success where conditions have been favorable, and with indifferent success in some other places. Recently there has been a widespread demand for a more general course in geography, particularly where physiography has not been thought wholly satisfactory ,a course which should treat physiographic processes and features briefly, and develop at greater length the relations of earth, air, and water to life, and especially to human affairs. This book is designed to serve as the basis for such a course. The authors have sought to give the student (i) an understanding of the elements of geography, (2) an interest in the subject, and especially (3) training in clear thinking.
