Carpenter's Geographical Readers supplement the regular textbooks on the subject, giving life and interest to the study. They are intensely absorbing, being written by the author on the spots described, and presenting accurate pen-pictures of places and peoples. The style is simple and easy, and throughout each volume there runs a strong personal note which makes the reader feel that he is actually seeing everything with his own eyes.
¶ The books give a good idea of the various peoples, their strange customs and ways of living, and to some extent of their economic conditions. At the same time, there are included graphic descriptions of the curious animals, rare birds, wonderful physical features, natural resources, and great industries of each country. The illustrations for the most part are reproductions of photographs taken by the author. The maps show the route taken over each continent.
¶ The Readers on Commerce and Industry take up the three great essentials of human existence, food, clothing, and shelter. The children visit the great food centers and see for themselves how the chief food staples are produced and prepared for use, they travel over the globe investigating the sources of their clothing, and they learn how the different races are housed, and of what their dwellings are composed. The journeys are along geographical lines.
