Book Description
About The Book

The object of this book is to provide advanced students, and especially students of geography, with a reasoned account of the world's climatic types. It is not intended to exempt the student from the reading of original works, but to give a foundation on to which he or she may build. Without entering into the physics of meteorological processes, with which the student is expected to be already familiar, effect is as far as possible related to cause, and, since the book is intended primarily for geographers, prominence is given to the human aspect and the practical application. In short, the book attempts to be reasoned and not merely descriptive, hence the arrangement adopted is not regional but is based on climatic types, with a view to emphasizing the essential similarity of environment in regions similarly situated and climatically allied. Particular attention is paid to the normal type, regional peculiarities of the more important areas being dealt with separately after the general description. The classification followed departs only in matters of detail from those in general use, but the boundary lines adopted are not always coincident with those generally recognized.

Preface

The object of this book is to provide advanced students, and especially students of geography, with a reasoned account of the world's climatic types. It is not intended to exempt the student from the reading of original works, but to give a foundation on to which he or she may build. Without entering into the physics of meteorological processes, with which the student is expected to be already familiar, effect is as far as possible related to cause, and, since the book is intended primarily for geographers, prominence is given to the human aspect and the practical application. In short, the book attempts to be reasoned and not merely descriptive, hence the arrangement adopted is not regional but is based on climatic types, with a view to emphasizing the essential similarity of environment in regions similarly situated and climatically allied. Particular attention is paid to the normal type, the regional peculiarities of the more important areas being dealt with separately after the general description. The classification followed departs only in matters of detail from those in general use, but the boundary lines adopted are not always coincident with those generally recognized, the reasons for these departures are set out in some detail in Chapter V.

Except in matters of treatment and presentation the book makes no other claim to originality, and the author acknowledges his indebted- ness to a mass of climatological literature much too large and varied to be listed in detail. Generally this is acknowledged in the text or in footnotes, but since the book is intended only as a text-book for students, chapter and verse are not always given in the references. The object in view in quoting references is rather to allow the student to follow up a particular line of inquiry should he wish to do so, and this purpose is effected by means of a short guide to further reading at the end of each chapter; but it sometimes happens that an interesting side-track is exposed in the text which it is impossible to pursue further, and in such cases the way is pointed out in a footnote. In general only those books and journals are quoted which would be readily accessible to a student in the library of the university or college.
