First Edition. "Special geography" was the main stream of geography during the four centuries that elapsed between the start of printing and the time when departments of geography were first established in the English-speaking world. This book identifies not only every book that purports to describe all the countries of the world, with the provisos stated in the subtitle, but also all the editions of those books. Included in the guide are books intended for recreational reading by adults; geographical dictionaries (distinguished from the first category by their intended use for reference purposes) ; books for youth (predominantly schoolbooks) ; and books closely related to the genre but differing in some respect. Minor categories include atlases, other geographies, books with titles that suggest that they might be special geography but are not, and ghosts. They are cross-classified by country of publication. An introduction to the 993 entries describes special geography as a genre, sets it in its historical context, and provides a guide for readers. Fine copy in the original gilt-blocked cloth. Remains particularly well-preserved overall; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered. Literally as new.; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 668 pages; Description: xii, 668 p. ; 24 cm. Includes bibliographical references (p. [607]-617) and index. Subjects: Geography --Bibliography. Geography --Early works to 1800 --Bibliography. 1 Kg.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Geography as an academic discipline dates back to the last fewdecades of the nineteenth century. However, during the precedingcenturies a large body of English-language literature relevant to thefield of special geography was published. Four Centuries of SpecialGeography lists all the works published before 1888 and includesdescriptions of each entry and notes on later editions. Francis Sitwell has written an extensive introduction in which heprovides a detailed guide to the organization and contents of thebibliography. He also evaluates special geography as a genre whichcontributed to scholarly discourse from the sixteenth to the nineteenthcenturies. In addition, he examines the genre as a whole and discussesits relation to the evolving world of ideas during the same timeperiod. The result of several years of data-gathering, this book will be avaluable research tool for anyone seeking to examine aspects of thedevelopment of the field of geography in the years before it wasdefined as a distinct academic discipline. It will also be useful tothose whose research focuses on the acquisition and transmission ofgeographical knowledge prior to the twentieth century, in particular onthe place of geography in educational curricula.…
