Excerpt from Dodge's Advanced Geography, Vol. 1: The Principles of Geography In that portion of the book devoted to the geography of the continents these principles are used and applied in the interpretation of life conditions. In each country the physical features, the animals, and the plants are described first so that the causal facts may be used as a basis for an understanding of the life consequences presented in the sections devoted to man and his work. The larger principles of Part I.. Are referred to frequently. Such cross references afford the best kind of review because the topics are taken up from another standpoint. In the treatment of the physical features of continents and countries, references to the life consequences are included whenever any particular point is of wide significance. In the choice of physical topics to be introduced in the principles, preference has been given to those which are of the broadest application. For this reason greater attention has been given to climate than is usual in school geographies, while only those land forms have been treated which are needed in the later work. The climate of the world is studied from the standpoint of the wind systems. There is a closer relation between wind systems and human conditions than between heat belts and human conditions; hence there can be a better causal study of the climate of the world from the standpoint of the wind systems than from any other. The last chapters in Part I. Are devoted to a summary of the elementary principles of commerce so that pupils may understand the reasons for the details of commercial geography presented later.
