Excerpt from Special Method in Geography: From the Third Through, the Eighth Grade The purpose of this book is to outline a complete course of study in geography from the third through the eighth grade. The character and arrangement of the materials selected for each grade are discussed at length and the method of treating topics illustrated. The characteristic points to be noted are (1), the gradual movement from the home outward; (2), the strong concentration of study, first upon North America and second upon Europe; and (3), the selection of types as centres for the organization of materials. In laying out the course of study in Chapter XI, the points of correlation between geography and other studies are marked out, and the list of books at the close is designed as a direct help to teachers in realizing this course of study. This is one of a series of Special Methods, all aiming at the same general purpose. The others are as follows: - 1. The Special Method in Primary Reading and Oral Work with Stories. 2. The Special Method in the Reading of Complete English Classics, from fourth to eighth grade. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

As political, economic, and environmental issues increasingly spread across the globe, the science of geography is being rediscovered by scientists, policymakers, and educators alike. Geography has been made a core subject in U.S. schools, and scientists from a variety of disciplines are using analytical tools originally developed by geographers. Rediscovering Geography presents a broad overview of geography's renewed importance in a changing world. Through discussions and highlighted case studies, this book illustrates geography's impact on international trade, environmental change, population growth, information infrastructure, the condition of cities, the spread of AIDS, and much more. The committee examines some of the more significant tools for data collection, storage, analysis, and display, with examples of major contributions made by geographers. Rediscovering Geography provides a blueprint for the future of the discipline, recommending how to strengthen its intellectual and institutional foundation and meet the demand for geographic expertise among professionals and the public.
