Excerpt from Man and His Markets: A Course in GeographyThis book is intended to supply a course of study in Geography, and is a companion volume to Man on Me Bart/z. My experience as an examiner for the Oxford Local Examination Board, and for the College of Preceptors, has confirmed that gained in teaching Geography to boys and in lecturing on it to working-men - namely, that it is impossible to teach the Geography of any particular area, with really satisfactory results, to any class which has not a substratum of geographical knowledge in two special lines.The first of these is concerned with the great phenomena of the science, which I have already endeavoured to treat in Man on Me Earth, the second is concerned with the chief necessaries of human life, which form the main subject of the pre sent volume.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
