A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The present volume, so far as we know, is the first attempt to present in a popular form the principles of human geography. The importance of this branch of geography is so self-evident as to need no demonstration. Without it neither the history of the past nor of our own times can be rightly understood. The method adopted in Jfai and His Work is as far as possible concrete. Beginning with the simplest societies, in which the effect of physical surroundings is, as it were, writ large, the increasing complexity introduced by new conditions and occupations is illustrated by concrete examples of existing societies. In the preparation of the book the writers have made use, wherever possible, of the original narratives of the chief travellers who have visited the regions described. A mong the most important of these are the well-known works of Nansen, Seebohm, Do Chaillu, Lansdell, Palgrave, Junker, Stanley, Sir Harry Johnston, Wallace, Bates, Darwin and many others. They desire particularly to record their debt to Brehm scharming and valuable book From North Pole toE quator, admirably translated by Mrs. Thomson. Teachers will find Ratzel sH istory of Mankind, anE nglish translation of which can now be obtained, valuable as a storehouse of facts and of suggestions for their interpretation. Both of these should be in every school hbrary, The writers will be very grateful for corrections and A. J. H. F. D. H. CoL iNTON, Midlothian, A ugml, lE gg.
