About This Item

Boston / London.: Ginn and Company., 1898. 1894 copyright. No print line.. Hard cover. Fair. No dust jacket. Signed by previous owner. Inscribed by "Gertie" in 1899 to "Arthur. Edgar. Dent" in Tariffville, Conn. Tightly bound. Soiled covers; soiling to end papers, page blocks. Pages clean, legible.. Wright, Gertrude Beatrice (Relief maps drawn by); Gannett, Henry (Industrial Maps of the U.S. by). 1 136 p. Tan buckram cloth over boards. Red titles, cover art. Stitched and reinforced binding. 27 cm. Color maps. B&W archival artwork. Written for students in the primary grades, with topical study of the earth, teaching "the earth as a unit" with illustrations showing comparison. Text on People centers on child-life; and the word "race" (preface notes) is more complex than the "size of cheek bones or the texture of hair", leading students into "the homes of the races". Plants and animals are studied in relation to climate and physical features. Another late 19th century change: leading industries in the United States are studied as a whole, rather than detailed state by state.

About Hedgehog's Whimsey Books

Hedgehog's Whimsey Books was born in a random moment when I decided to become a used books seller. Beginning in 2001, I apprenticed myself with a longtime pro in the next town, hoping to learn her secrets. She encouraged my free help but was wary of sharing all those secrets. Nonetheless, she turned me loose when she felt I would not embarrass her; she was impressed, finding I actually knew something about books and authors and styles. I am still learning, and I am having a good time with the random avalanches of books to be recycled into good homes, one by one. Inventory has mounted: my mother downsized her 7,000-plus library, and we (my Geezer and I) went to library book sales, yard emporiums on weekends, estate dispersals, and added the books my kids left behind, wanting to stock their own shelves anew. Some folks simply tooled down our dirt road and left boxes on our porch. Myself? Well, I am also a photographer, journalist, curious stuff collector, avid reader, writer, editor, small-time publisher, and online pontificator. At Hedgehog Enterprises, I do "Words & Pictures by & for Folks with Prickly Backs, Soft Bellies, & Small Brains", established in 1991. Since I have the smallest brain (by unpopular vote), I am the Head Hedgehog. Do I specialize in particular genres? I thought I did, but my barn has lots of Geezer-built shelves, and we have many interests, so topics vary, as do book conditions and editions. I try to describe such, and sometimes have too much fun as I poke along. There is no charge for the therapy of browsing, folks, so find my sites and stay awhile. If a purchase results, know that the tax collector in Newport, New Hampshire, may get a pleasant surprise. Or, I may buy a few more apple cider donuts or sweet potatoes. No pressure. Hedgehogs do have yearnings. If you should visit by chance or by appointment, enjoy our old New Hampshire farmhouse location alongside the Sugar River and its companion recreation Rail Trail, nearby two historic railroad covered bridges just off Chandlers Mill Road. Feel welcome. -- Lucy G Wells, proprietor.
