Excerpt from Applied Geography, a Preliminary Sketch: With Ten Maps
Editor of the London Magazine. The object of the publication is to shew what, in my estimation, are some of the bearings of geographical knowledge on human interests; on the course of history, but more especially on industry, commerce, and colonization. The first two chapters deal with general data and methods, which are illustrated in the following chapters with special reference to Africa, the British Empire, the world at large some of the chief commodities of Commerce, and the lands still available for European and American enterprise. The book is really a series of suggestions and examples. It may prove of some use to teachers and others desirous of making the most of Geography, and, it is hoped, may have some interest for intelligent readers generally. What I regard as the field of Geography may be learned from the first chapter. J. Scorr keltie. I, savlllc Row, \v., Illay, 1908.

Excerpt from Applied Geography, a Preliminary Sketch: With Ten Maps
This is not a text-book of Commercial Geography. The use of such terms as Commercial Geography, Political Geography, &c., is I think unfortunate, as it leads to the impression that there are so many different kinds of Geography. The subject is the same to whatever practical purpose it may be applied, and therefore I prefer the comprehensive term, "Applied Geography".
The first edition of the book was published in 1890, and much has happened since to raise the standard of Geography in this country, and to improve its position in Education. Moreover, many changes have taken place as a result of the increased enterprise of the ruling nations in developing the resources of the lands of the globe, and in annexing such areas as were available for the purpose.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines how geographic knowledge relates to human interest and industry, commerce, and colonization. It emphasizes that geography is not just about the physical features of the Earth, but also about how these features influence human activities and how humans, in turn, shape their environment. The author argues that geography is essential for understanding the course of history, especially as it relates to commerce and colonization. The book also discusses various commodities and the relationship between the Earth's surface conditions and human development, and it includes maps and diagrams to illustrate its points. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in geography, history, or economics. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781330308127_0
