In revising A Basic Geo- graphical Library we have added new books from the gratifyingly large volume of relevant publications during the last four years, removed some older material, and moaerately expanded the number of items. The length of the list must be arbitrary, since an exha Aive list is not within present intention or possibility. The pressures felt by the t Mors are mostly for a longer list.The longer the list, however, the less information is implied about the desirability of any particular book. Only the users of the list can report on the ad- vantages of a longer or shorter bibliography. Essentially the bibliography islimited to published books and serialsthe staples of library acquisition.Individual articles and maps are not included. Pam- phlets of various descriptions have been omitted, though admittedly it is not always possible to distinguish a pamphlet from a book. In keeping with the purpose of the bibliography, books of recent date in English have been favored, though many books in foreign languages and older books, even though not currently available, have been included whei,; their subject or quality seemed needed. Current American editions have usually been cited when possible. Some coverage has been provided for fields peripheral to geography; the purpose is to include a selection of books needed for supporting geography rather than to develop those fields for themselves. Highly spe- cialized books have been avoided. This revision is the product of the work of a large number of people, just as was the 1966 edition. Their help is gratefully acknowledged. Without it the revision could not have been made. Requests for suggested changes were sent to more than 400 geographers chosen from the various fields; many responded with carefully con- n:i.lered lists that must have taken hours of work. The tentative list for each section was submitted to a consultant (some 30 in all) whose recommendations were care- fully weighed in making final selections. The pledge of anonymity to all these people precludes any identification. The form of this editionand the greater part of its substance represent the work of Martha Church, Robert Huke, and Wilbur Zelinsky, the panel in charge of the origi- nal edition.The more we worked on its remodeling, the more impressed we were with the structure of the house they fashioned. To our respective departments at San Fernando Valley State College, The Uni- versity of Oregon, and Michigan State University, and to our colleagues we owe many thanks for facilities, generous help and suggestions, and patience. Assistance in bib- liographic research, compiling, sorting, and typing vas provided principally by Bar- bara Bailey, LeRoy Barnett, Addie Binstock, Emily Dicken, Nancy Forbes, Ronald Garst, Janet Lawson, Lydia Lewthwaite, Ellen Rosenburg, and Marjorie Winters. Because of their keen help and good spirits, the impossible took only a little longer. Organization of the Entries Outline The contents of the bibliography are arranged into four principal parts: I. Gen- eral Aids and Sources;II.History, Ph;losophy, and Methods;III. Works Grouped by iii 4 Topic; and IV. Works Grouped by Region. Each part is subdivided into sections con- cerned with specific topics or regions. The sections are broken down into subsections as appropriate, in this general order: Bibliographies; Serials; Atlases; General; Special Subjects; Regions. Within each subsection books are arranged alphabetically by author. Cross-Listing Many books logically belong in more than one section, especially in the respec- tive sections of Parts III and IV. Each book is cited in a primary location. In any other sectionsit is identified by the section of its primary location and its serial identification number. The cross-listing is designed only to supplement the Table of Contents as a means of locatingotherbooks on a given subject. E.g., few items under. Soils are cross-listed under Agriculture because nearly everythingwould apply; items in Part I are seldom cross-listed because many are so general as to relate to a large number of other sections. The idea of cross-listing approximates at least one mig- gested definition of geography.It could be carried on ad infinitum, but the attzmpt has been to apply it where it can be useful. Anatomy of the Entry The entries are identified sequentially by numbers placed in the right-hand mar- gin.Underlined numbers refer to selections for two-year college libraries. (See paragraph by James R. Anderson on page v.) The contents are arranged in this orderinsofar as the information is obtainable or applicable: 1.Author(s), editor(s), compiler(s), or organization(s). The principal exception to this order occurs in the case of periodicals, which are usually identified by title. 2.Title; subtitle. 3.Translator and indication of original language. 4.Series. 5.Edition, when a second or later edition is cited. 6.Place of publication. 7. Publisher. 8. Date of publication. 9. Number of pages (normally the number identifiedwith Arabic numer- als in the book). 10.Number of volumes, if more than one. 11. Price (given when available for books in print; in some other cases, old prices have been givenasaguide to the outlay that may be neces- ary). 12.Librar of Congress or other catalog number. 13.Other important publication details. 14.Citation of paperback edition or reissue.

  • A Sense of Place: Human Geography in the Early Childhood Classroom
    Social Studies: From a Sense of Self to a Sense of the World Pamela Brillante and Sue Mankiw Preschool Through Primary Grades A Sense of Place: Human Geography in the Early Childhood Classroom Walking downtown is four-year-old Abby’s favorite thing to do with her dad. Today is the first day that Abby hasn’t had to wear a coat on their walk. They walk under shady trees and stop to notice all the white flowers blooming outside the library where Abbey and her grandma go for story hour with Abby’s friends. The smell of lilies of the valley permeates the air. As they get closer to downtown, Dad picks Abby up while they cross the broken sidewalk near the post office so she does not get hurt on the rough terrain. It can be difficult for her to navigate uneven ground with her walker. Approaching the town’s music stage, Abby tugs on her dad’s sleeve; she wants to hear the musicians playing their shiny instruments. Abby points out the sign that says STOP on the busy street corner by Poppy’s Bakery. The nice women who work there always talk to Abby and let her pick out a cookie while her dad buys warm, delicious-smelling bread for Sunday dinner. Abby loves going to “her downtown,” where she knows she is part of the community of friends, neighbors, and merchants she meets along the way. 1, 2, 3 ® © iStock.com/ktaylorg 2 Young Children July 2015 lthough they may not realize it, Abby physical world around them and in the social and cultural and her dad are studying geography on their world they share with others.

  • Rainfall and the Length of the Growing Season in Nigeria
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CLIMATOLOGY Int. J. Climatol. 24: 467–479 (2004) Published online in Wiley InterScience (www.interscience.wiley.com). DOI: 10.1002/joc.1012 RAINFALL AND THE LENGTH OF THE GROWING SEASON IN NIGERIA T. O. ODEKUNLE* Department of Geography, Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Nigeria Received 15 May 2003 Revised 8 December 2003 Accepted 16 December 2003 ABSTRACT This study examines the length of the growing season in Nigeria using the daily rainfall data of Ikeja, Ondo, Ilorin, Kaduna and Kano. The data were collected from the archives of the Nigerian Meteorological Services, Oshodi, Lagos. The length of the growing season was determined using the cumulative percentage mean rainfall and daily rainfall probability methods. Although rainfall in Ikeja, Ondo, Ilorin, Kaduna, and Kano appears to commence around the end of the second dekad of March, middle of the third dekad of March, mid April, end of the first dekad of May, and early June respectively, its distribution characteristics at the respective stations remain inadequate for crop germination, establishment, and development till the end of the second dekad of May, early third dekad of May, mid third dekad of May, end of May, and end of the first dekad of July respectively. Also, rainfall at the various stations appears to retreat starting from the early third dekad of October, early third dekad of October, end of the first dekad of October, end of September, and early second dekad of September respectively, but its distribution characteristics only remain adequate for crop development at the respective stations till around the end of the second dekad of October, end of the second dekad of October, middle of the first dekad of October, early October, and middle of the first dekad of September respectively.

  • Discover Ltd / Education for All Morocco Y6 – Y7 Geography Transition Unit
    Discover Ltd / Education for All Morocco Y6 – Y7 Geography Transition Unit For Primary School Leaders and Teachers June 2020 Dear Colleague I am delighted to attach a copy of the Y6-7 Geography Transition Unit. This unit of work has been designed to address the needs of Year 6 pupils in primary schools as they prepare for their transition into Year 7 at their secondary school. It has been prepared now (May 2020) in an attempt to address any uncertainty around school openings and traditional transition arrangements. We at Discover Ltd and Education for All Morocco decided to use the wealth of resources we have collected over many years for a variety of audiences to prepare a unit of home or school-based study around the ‘geography’ of Morocco. Our intention is that this supports: a) primary school colleagues planning home learning units; b) provides Year 6 pupils with a high quality study pack which aims to develop and enhance their knowledge, skills and understanding across the 3 key aims of the NC for Geography (skills; places / context; and physical / human geography); and c) supports secondary school colleagues as you revise and modify your traditional transition arrangements this term, should you not be able to hold face-to-face sessions with your new Year 7 intake of students. The aim is then that the pupils in Year 6 would bring their ‘completed’ study pack with them at the start of Year 7 to share with their geography teacher. We fully recognise that this is but a tiny part of the primary-secondary transition process but we hope that it makes that step from Y6-Y7 that little bit easier and slightly less stressful for Y6 pupils’.
