| national geographic world cultures and geography: Elementary Geography Charlotte Mason, 2016-06-01 This little book is confined to very simple “reading lessons upon the Form and Motions of the Earth, the Points of the Compass, the Meaning of a Map: Definitions.” The shape and motions of the earth are fundamental ideas—however difficult to grasp. Geography should be learned chiefly from maps, and the child should begin the study by learning “the meaning of map,” and how to use it. These subjects are well fitted to form an attractive introduction to the study of Geography: some of them should awaken the delightful interest which attaches in a child’s mind to that which is wonderful—incomprehensible. The Map lessons should lead to mechanical efforts, equally delightful. It is only when presented to the child for the first time in the form of stale knowledge and foregone conclusions that the facts taught in these lessons appear dry and repulsive to him. An effort is made in the following pages to treat the subject with the sort of sympathetic interest and freshness which attracts children to a new study. A short summary of the chief points in each reading lesson is given in the form of questions and answers. Easy verses, illustrative of the various subjects, are introduced, in order that the children may connect pleasant poetic fancies with the phenomena upon which “Geography” so much depends. It is hoped that these reading lessons may afford intelligent teaching, even in the hands of a young teacher. The first ideas of Geography—the lessons on “Place”—which should make the child observant of local geography, of the features of his own neighbourhood, its heights and hollows and level lands, its streams and ponds—should be conveyed viva voce. At this stage, a class-book cannot take the place of an intelligent teacher. Children should go through the book twice, and should, after the second reading, be able to answer any of the questions from memory. Charlotte M. Mason |
| national geographic world cultures and geography: Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies Jared Diamond, 1999-04-17 Fascinating.... Lays a foundation for understanding human history.—Bill Gates In this artful, informative, and delightful (William H. McNeill, New York Review of Books) book, Jared Diamond convincingly argues that geographical and environmental factors shaped the modern world. Societies that had had a head start in food production advanced beyond the hunter-gatherer stage, and then developed religion --as well as nasty germs and potent weapons of war --and adventured on sea and land to conquer and decimate preliterate cultures. A major advance in our understanding of human societies, Guns, Germs, and Steel chronicles the way that the modern world came to be and stunningly dismantles racially based theories of human history. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, the Phi Beta Kappa Award in Science, the Rhone-Poulenc Prize, and the Commonwealth club of California's Gold Medal. |

| national geographic world cultures and geography: The Geography of Bliss Eric Weiner, The Geography of Bliss membawa pembaca melanglangbuana ke berbagai negara, dari Belanda, Swiss, Bhutan, hingga Qatar, Islandia, India, dan Amerika ... untuk mencari kebahagiaan. Buku ini adalah campuran aneh tulisan perjalanan, psikologi, sains, dan humor. Ditulis tidak untuk mencari makna kebahagiaan, tapi di mana. Apakah orang-orang di Swiss lebih bahagia karena negara mereka paling demokratis di dunia? Apakah penduduk Qatar, yang bergelimang dolar dari minyak mereka, menemukan kebahagiaan di tengah kekayaan itu? Apakah Raja Bhutan seorang pengkhayal karena berinisiatif memakai indikator kebahagiaan rakyat yang disebut Gross National Happiness sebagai prioritas nasional? Kenapa penduduk Ashville, Carolina Utara, sangat bahagia? Kenapa penduduk di Islandia, yang suhunya sangat dingin dan jauh dari mana-mana, termasuk negara yang warganya paling bahagia di dunia? Kenapa di India kebahagiaan dan kesengsaraan bisa hidup berdampingan? Dengan wawasan yang dalam dan ditulis dengan kocak, Eric Wiener membawa pembaca ke tempat-tempat yang aneh dan bertemu dengan orang-orang yang, anehnya, tampak akrab. Sebuah bacaan ringan yang sekaligus memancing pemikiran pembaca. “Lucu, mencerahkan, mengagumkan.” —Washington Post Book World “Tulisan yang menyentuh ...mendalam ...buku yang hebat!” —National Geographic “Selalu ada pencerahan di setiap halaman buku ini.” —Los Angeles Times [Mizan, Mizan Publishing, Qanita, Petualangan, Perjalanan, Dunia, Dewasa, Indonesia] |

Moseley, 2015-04-06 Understanding World Regional Geography (UWRG) is designed to teach students to think geographically so they can continue to think and apply geographic concepts long after the course is over.
