Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Inductive Geography
The aim in geography teaching should be to give the pupil knowledge of the earth as it ministers to human life. Geography is not a distinct science; in its three great divisions, mathematical, physical, and political, it draws from the sciences of astronomy, geology, biology, and history. There seems to be no limit to its field; it may include much or little from these great departments of knowledge, according to the tastes and preferences of instructors. The problems confronting the author of a text-book in geography are mainly three: first, the matter to be included; second, the order of arrangement; third, the method of treatment. In the preparation of The Inductive Geography, these problems have been carefully considered. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
