Excerpt from A Class Book of Physical Geography Physical Geography as a school subject is concerned properly with those aspects of the Earth which determine or influence the life of man. It necessarily touches other departments of natural knowledge at many points, but in the following lessons the contributory sciences of astronomy, geology, meteorology, and physics are introduced only to the extent necessary to make clear some of the more obvious ways in which human life is affected by natural phenomena. Educationally regarded, Geography is a practical science practical, since it cannot be studied satisfactorily without the personal performance of observational and experimental exercises designed to lead the student to discover for himself fundamental facts and principles a science, in that the data with which it deals can be applied convincingly to man's needs only when their place in an orderly sequence of cause and effect is duly appreciated. The practical exercises set out at the beginning of the various sections of the book have been framed to lead each student to become - within the limits of the course of study - an independent observer able to reason intelligently on the facts he encounters. The descriptive text which follows each set of exercises provides a means of checking the results obtained and the conclusions arrived at by the student. It is urged that, although the descriptive portions of the volume will be found complete as a text-book, much of the educational value of their study will be lost by students who neglect the practical work.

Excerpt from Lessons in Geography, Including Mathematical, Physical, and Political Geography The various things around us, of which we gain a knowledge by our senses, are objects, or forms of matter. These objects all have length, breadth, and thickness, i.e. they extend in three directions. Since objects have extension, they must have something in which to extend. This something we call space. Space. - Space is the possibility of extension; a necessary condition to the existence of matter. Solid. - A solid is a limited portion of space having extension in three directions. Material Solid. - A material solid is a limited portion of space filled with matter. Surface. - A surface is limited extension in two directions. The boundaries or limits of a solid are surfaces. Line. - A line is extension in one direction. The boundaries or limits of a surface arc lines. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from High School Physical Geography While the principles of Physical Geography belong to the earth as a whole, and type cases are cited from all regions, the greater emphasis is put on our continent. A separate chapter on North America would pass our limit of space, but when the entire text has been read, all the greater features of the continent will have received attention.
