NORTH AMERICA (CLASSIC REPRINT)

Excerpt from North AmericaStudents who intend taking Geography as a subject for Matriculation, Preliminary Certificate, Teachers Certificate or Civil Service Examinations, will already be acquainted with the leading facts of the subject.The aim of this book is to associate those facts in a way that not only makes them interesting, but affords at least some explanation of the facts - to be suggestive rather than exhaustive. More stress than is usual in text-books of Geography is laid upon physical causes which lead to agricultural and industrial developments.Historical Geography is only incidentally treated because the writer considers it best to associate historic places with historical incidents in the courses of history taken by the student.A glossary of common geological terms will be found at the end of the book.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
