Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manual of Physical Geography The exercises in this "Manual" have, for the most part, grown out of the author's class-room experiences. There is presented a variety of exercises, some of them advanced in character, that will cover the topics capable of laboratory illustration usually presented in a course in physical geography. For such classes as cannot use the entire "Manual," the author suggests a selected list of exercises which are starred. Most of the exercises can be used in a different order from that given by omitting the references to other exercises. Some of the exercises and their order of presentation may require explanation. Considerable attention is given to elementary principles of mathematical geography. Many students of this phase of the science seem to have a vocabulary rather than an understanding of it. For example, rather few students know precisely why it is colder in winter than in summer, or why the seasons change. The author would urge thorough drill in these elementary principles and in the elementary facts of insolation.
