Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of lessons in geography for young children, with particular focus on the United States of America. The author begins with an introduction to map reading, explaining the concepts of the Earth's roundness, the cardinal points of the compass, and the difference between a cape and an island. The author encourages children to imagine taking a sea voyage to Spain, using a map to trace their imagined journey. They would first sail east across the Atlantic Ocean, and then, to touch at the Canary Islands. Returning from Spain, they might stop at the West Indies, which are described as being green and beautiful, with fruits and wines always ripe. The author then shares the story of Christopher Columbus discovering America, emphasizing the courage and determination of this explorer. Columbus's discovery of the New World led to great changes in the world, as people from Europe began to explore and settle in the Americas. Next, the author gives a brief overview of the geography of the United States, including its states, territories, and major rivers and mountains. The author emphasizes that each state has its own capital, and that the capital is not always the largest town. The author also explains the difference between a state, a territory, and the District of Columbia. The author goes on to discuss the geography of Cuba, the Isthmus of Panama, and the tropical regions of the world. The author describes the construction of a railway across the Isthmus of Panama, connecting the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean, and the significance of this feat of engineering. The author then provides a brief overview of Spanish America, explaining how the Spanish conquered and colonized much of the Americas, and how these colonies eventually gained their independence. The author describes the geography of South America, including its vast grassy plains called pampas, and its abundance of gold, silver, and other mineral resources. The author concludes with a discussion of China, describing its ancient civilization, its famous wall, and its production of tea, silk, and porcelain. The author also discusses the geography of the East Indies, which are described as being rich in spices, such as cloves, nutmegs, and cinnamon. The author's insights on geography are valuable for young children, as they provide a foundation for understanding the world around them. The book is written in a clear and engaging style, and is well-illustrated with maps and pictures, making it an ideal resource for both home and school use. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
