Davis’ Elementary Physical Geography
By WILLIAM MORRIS DAVIS
Author of Davis’ “Physical Geography” and Professor of Geology in Harvard University
12mo. Cloth. viii + 401 pages + 6 color charts + 16 pages of maps.
Illustrated. List price, $1.25.
he “Elementary Physical Geography” is a new book by Professor W. M. Davis, the first authority in the United States in the field of physical geography. It retains the characteristic features of the author’s earlier work, “Physical Geography,” but is much less difficult and is admirably adapted for use with younger pupils.
The plan of this volume, like that of its predecessor, is to give the problems of physical geography a rational treatment. The object of this method is not simply to explain physiographic facts, but to increase the appreciation of the facts themselves by associating them with their causes and their consequences. This relation is not presented merely as an afterthought in a detached chapter at the end of the book; it accompanies the presentation of the facts themselves.
The chapter on the Atmosphere has been considerably expanded, and an entirely new chapter has been added on the Distribution of Plants, Animals, and Man, considered from a physiographic standpoint. The questions at the end of each chapter, prepared by an experienced high-school teacher, will be found most useful in class-room work with this book.
Especially notable are the illustrations, which include nearly two hundred splendid woodcuts, five pages of charts in color, and nineteen full-page half-tone plates from rare photographs.
The Nation, July 3, 1902: Taken all in all, this seems the most satisfactory elementary text-book in physical geography yet published. Certainly in its treatment of the land it has not been surpassed unless, perhaps, by the author’s larger work ["Physical Geography"].

GEOGRAPHIC INFLUENCES IN AMERICAN HISTORY
By ALBERT PERRY BRIGHAM
Professor of Geology in Colgate University. 12mo. Cloth. 366 pages
.
Illustrated. List price, $1.25; mailing price, $1.40
In this new book Professor Brigham has presented vividly and clearly those physiographic features of America which have been important in guiding the unfolding of our industrial and national life. The arrangement is mainly geographical. Among the themes receiving special treatment are: The Eastern Gateway of the United States, the Appalachian Barrier, the Great Lakes and American Commerce, the Civil War, and Mines and Mountain Life. Closing chapters deal with the unity and diversity of American life and with physiography as affecting American destiny.
The book will be found particularly interesting and valuable to students and teachers of geography and history, but it will also appeal to the general reader. The very large number of rare and attractive photographs and the numerous maps are of importance in vivifying and explaining the text.

THE LAKES OF NORTH AMERICA
By ISRAEL C. RUSSELL
Professor of Geology in the University of Michigan
8vo. Cloth, xi + 125 pages. Illustrated. List price, $1.50;
mailing price, $1.65
Recent advances have made physical geography almost a new science. Professor Russell here presents a single phase, but one of great importance. The work is based upon his original investigations, and is at once thoroughly scientific in substance and enjoyably popular in style.
As a text-book or reading book for students in geography and geology the “Lakes of North America” possesses a unique value. Its interest to the general reader is enhanced by its illustrations and its happy descriptions of lake scenery.
GLACIERS OF NORTH AMERICA
By ISRAEL C. RUSSELL, Professor of Geology in the University of Michigan
Author of “Lakes of North America”
8vo. Cloth. x + 210 pages., Illustrated. List price, $1.75;
mailing price, $1.90
Recent explorations have shown that North America contains thousands of glaciers, some of which are not only vastly larger than any in Europe, but belong to types of ice bodies not there represented. In the study of the glaciers of North America, and especially of those in Alaska, Professor Russell has taken an active part; and this book not only presents the results of his own explorations but also a condensed and accurate statement of the present status of glacial investigations. Its popular character and numerous illustrations will make it of interest to the general reader.

This transcription was derived from the 1905 publication obtained from The Internet Archive. As the Index of the original 1905 book is missing entries for U and V, the Index from the 1921 version was used to add the missing sections.
One error was noted in preparing this revision (page 493 under Hudson River should have been 417). Several hyphenated vs. unhyphenated forms were standardized to the most prevalent. Minor corrections were made where periods, commas, etc. were missing. A number of paragraphs which were split by images were rejoined. In some cases, the text was moved to the preceding or following page.
