Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Resources and Industries of the United States The attempt of the author has been to present to young people a vivid and accurate picture of the more important of the industries of the United States. Further, the aim has been to show the factors, natural and economic, which have led to the development of these industries; to make clear the position which the United States holds in the world of commerce as a result of its great resources; to show the urgent necessity for the conservation of these resources in view of the complete dependence of our industries upon them; and to point out the means by which this conservation may be brought about. The text is designed for pupils of Junior High School age, seventh and eighth grades, to be used either as the only geography of the grade or as a supplementary geographic reader in schools where other geographies are in use. The aim of the author has been not only to help the student, by word pictures and by many illustrations, to visualize industrial processes but to stimulate him constantly to think in the subject. The attempt has been, wherever possible, to lead the pupil, through questions, to work out for himself the reasons which underlie the location of industries, rather than to state them for him. Also, the entire subject has been presented as a series of problems, that the student may feel and live in the problems which confront the farmer, the manufacturer, and other producers. The maps are modern, and many of them are unique. The rainfall map is modified from the 1917 rainfall map published by the Weather Bureau.
