NEW GEOGRAPHIES

First BookRelationship to Man. In the former preface the authors defined geography as the science which treats of the rela tion between man and the earth, and the text was written upon this basis. It was difficult ten years ago to apply this idea extensively, because so little had been previously accomplished in this direction. The authors feel that one of the most important improve ments in the present volume has been effected at that point. Every topic has been approached, and receives its entire consideration, from the point of view of man s interest in it. Descriptions of continents and countries offered without reference to human relationships are likely to be colorless and tiresome to the young mind.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
