Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book introduces the study of geography from a place of experience for the young student, building from the familiar to the theoretical. It begins by examining the foundational concepts of geography - direction, distance, and time - then proceeds to an exploration of familiar concepts such as hills, valleys, rivers, soil, climate, and plant and animal life. The author uses this framework of familiarity to introduce more complex ideas such as latitude, elevation, prevailing winds, and climate zones. Historical examples and thought-provoking questions accompany these ideas to provide historical context and encourage further inquiry. The author also emphasizes human geography through discussions of population, occupations, commerce, races of men, government, and concludes with historical information and maps about each continent, providing a well-rounded introduction to geography as a whole. Its inductive approach and progression from the known to the unknown lay a solid foundation in geography for young learners.
