About This Book

Aimed at young readers, the volume offers a structured survey of Africa’s physical and human geography, moving from broad overviews to regional studies of deserts, mountains, rivers, lakes, and soils. It treats vegetation zones, mineral resources and economic activities such as diamond fields and ostrich farming, and provides accessible natural history sketches of mammals, birds, and reptiles. Interwoven are portraits of diverse peoples and accounts of colonial and exploratory encounters, with practical guidance for studying maps and connecting classroom lessons to travel-based observations.

STEPPING STONES TO LITERATURE

By Sarah Louise Arnold, Supervisor of Schools, Boston, Mass.

and

Charles B. Gilbert, Superintendent of Schools, Newark, N. J.

The remarkable success of this new series of Readers has exceeded even the anticipations of those who knew the large experience of its authors in educational work, and their peculiar fitness for preparing a series of reading books that should not only meet the needs of the schoolroom but should be educative in the highest degree. Briefly stated, the salient points of the series may be characterized as follows:—
