Geographical Essays (1909)

Geographical Essays is a collection of essays written by William Morris Davis, a prominent American geographer and geologist, in 1909. The book is divided into two parts, the first of which is titled ''The Physical Geography of the Land'' and the second, ''The Physical Geography of the Sea''. The essays cover a range of topics related to physical geography, including erosion, glaciers, rivers, and oceans. Davis uses his extensive knowledge of the subject matter to provide detailed descriptions and analyses of the various phenomena he discusses. He also draws on his own experiences as a field geologist to illustrate his points and provide real-world examples. Throughout the book, Davis emphasizes the importance of understanding the physical processes that shape the Earth’s surface, arguing that such knowledge is essential for understanding everything from climate patterns to the distribution of plant and animal species. Overall, Geographical Essays is an important work in the field of physical geography, and remains relevant today as a foundational text for students and scholars of the subject.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
