NEW SERIES OF THE NATURAL GEOGRAPHIES REDWAY AND HINMAN TWO BOOK OR FOUR BOOK EDITION Introductory Geography $0.60 In two parts, each School Geography IN 'N the new series of these sterling geographies emphasis is laid on industrial, commercial, and political geography, with just enough physiography to bring out the causal relations. The text is clear, simple, interesting, and explicit. The pictures are distinguished for their aptness and perfect illustrative character. Two sets of maps are provided, one for reference, and the other for study, the latter having corresponding maps drawn to the same scale. The INTRODUCTORY GEOGRAPHY develops the subject in accordance with the child's comprehension, each lesson paving the way for the next. In the treatment of the United States the physiographic, historical, political, industrial, and commercial conditions are taken up in their respective order, the chief industries and the loc lities devoted largely to each receiving more than usual consideration. The country is regarded as being divided into five industrial sections. In the SCHOOL GEOGRAPHY a special feature is the presentation of the basal principles of physical and general geography in simple, untechnical language, arranged in numbered paragraphs. In subsequent pages constant reference is made to these principles, but in each case accompanied by the paragraph number. This greatly simplifies the work, and makes it possible to take up the. formal study of these introductory lessons after the remainder of the book has been completed. With a view to enriching the course, numerous specific references are given to selected geographical reading.

In this way they accomplish two separate purposes-they afford valuable instruction in geography, and provide drill in reading. The books are intensely absorbing-they were written by Mr. Carpenter on the spots described, and present an accurate pen-picture of places and people. The style is simple and easy, and throughout each volume there runs a strong personal note which makes the reader feel that he is actually seeing everything with his own eyes. As advocated by leading educators, attention is directed principally to the various peoples, their strange customs and ways of living, and to some extent to their economic condition. At the same time, there is included a graphic description of the curious animals, rare birds, wonderful physical features, natural resources, and great industries of each country. The numerous illustrations and maps deserve special mention. The illustrations for the most part are reproductions of photographs taken by the author, and are in perfect harmony with the text. The maps showing the route taken over each continent are one of the best features of the series. The publication of this series has been a distinct relief to teachers. No longer is the study of geography dry and meaningless, no longer is it a waste of time. Since the appear ance of the first volume, Carpenter's Readers have met with an extraordinary success throughout the country. AMERICAN BOOK BOOK COMPANY |
