Learn physical geography at your own pace What is atmospheric pressure? How does latitude indicate the type of climate a specific place will have? Where are volcanic eruptions or strong earthquakes most likely to occur? With Physical Geography: A Self-Teaching Guide, you'll discover the answers to these questions and many more about the basics of how our planet operates. Veteran geography teacher Michael Craghan takes you on a guided tour of Earth's surface, explaining our planet's systems and cycles and their complex interactions step by step. From seasonal changes to coastal processes, from effluvial basins to deep sea fissures, Craghan puts the emphasis on comprehension of the topics. He also includes more than 100 specially commissioned illustrations and 50 photographs to help clarify difficult concepts. The clearly structured format of Physical Geography makes it fully accessible, providing an easily understood, comprehensive overview for everyone from the student to the amateur geographer to the hobbyist. Like all Self-Teaching Guides, Physical Geography allows you to build gradually on what you have learned-at your own pace. Questions and self-tests reinforce the information in each chapter and allow you to skip ahead or focus on specific areas of concern. Packed with useful, up-to-date information, this clear, concise volume is a valuable learning tool and reference source for anyone who wants to improve his or her understanding of physical geography.

Excerpt from Elements of Physical Geography There are good text-books on physical geography, but there are many teachers and school departments not satisfied with any of them. The author has endeavored to meet the requirements of these teachers as far as such needs could be ascertained. With a subject as broad as physical geography there will always be lack of uniformity in the manner of presentation, as well as in the subject matter. The subject is one which is undergoing many changes, and it is possible that both the teachers and the subject may be ahead of present text-books in many particulars. This book is not an experiment. To accommodate the many students who were going out to teach in the schools of the State, the author, several year's ago, attempted to bring his courses in physical geography in Syracuse University into harmony with the requirements of the Educational Department of the State. It was then that he realized the force of the complaints of many teachers that none of the text-books met these requirements. After trying two of the leading text-books, he abandoned both and prepared a text which has been used successfully, in manuscript form, for two years in his own classes. Before putting it in book form he studied the conditions in the public schools of New York and in other states and has attempted to prepare a book to meet the needs of teachers and the Educational Departments in this country, not with the expectation of pleasing all, but with the confident hope of meeting the needs of many of those who are dissatisfied with the present books.
