Book excerpt: Excerpt from Uncle Sam's Panama Canal and World History, Accompanying the Panama Canal Flat-Globe: Its Achievement an Honor to the United States and a Blessing to the World We State With Satisfaction that the Panama Canal Flat-Globe and Geographical World History give in a concise, yet exhaustive form, an up-to-date presentation of world-wide geography that has no counterpart. They also comprise a new and advanced system of geographical review and reference that has never existed before, in a form that is easy to understand and convenient to use. Further, they give a full illustration and description of the Panama Canal, and the facts about the Suez Canal by the highest authority. This Globe and History mark a new departure in the consideration of the complete geography of the world. They cover fully the illustration, explanation and description of the earth upon which we live. Each of the two parts (Globe and History) is necessary to the intelligent and satisfactory use of the other. Together, they comprise a product needed to-day in every family circle and business place. Panama Canal Books, geographies, maps, atlases, charts and the geographical part of encyclopedias are fragmentary and disconnected presentations, whereas the Panama Canal Flat-Globe and Geographical World History cover the subject of world-wide geography from all points, connectedly and completely. The Panama Canal Flat-Globe illustrates the whole world. It indicates upon its surface, in their proper relationship, the oceans and seas, continents, countries and islands, the continental systems of great railroads, rivers, lakes and mountains. It also gives the latitude, longitude, time around the world, steamship and cable routes, prevailing winds, ocean currents, ice-drifts, etc., and clearly shows the latest routings of the ocean highways with proper distances through the Panama and Suez Canals. The Geographical World History explains the subject of world-wide geography under the heads of Physical Geography and the phenomena and forces of nature; Mathematical Geography, with its interesting data in relation to time, climate and seasons; and national or political geography, dividing the continents into their numerous sections of governmental control; with frequent reference to the Flat-Globe to give the proper and clear understanding of these subjects. The History of the Ages, and of the 2,000,000,000, people who inhabit the earth together with their activities, is shown in the national and political sub-divisions of the world, the development of its resources, ocean and land transportation facilities and means of intercommunication, and the industrial, commercial and agricultural activities of the various races. All these subjects are clearly presented in this production. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
