Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The World We Live In: Intermediate
If you could travel as fast as a swift railroad train could carry you, day and night, without stop ping to rest, it would take several weeks to go quite round this great globe. You would travel miles. The distance round the earth is called its circumference.
The distance from one side to the other, in a straight line through the middle of the earth, is called its diameter, and extends about miles.
