Great classic text

This old book contains beautiful, simple, clearly drawn two-tone diagrams, illustrating the many subjects contained in an introductory course on physical geography. Though they used to be ubiquitous in the textbooks of yore, such line drawings are rare nowadays, and I sometimes wonder if the rage to illustrate every facet of the physical Earth in 3-D digital animation has truly increased understanding or confused it. For me, these simple line drawings bring clarity to the topics they illustrate: Earth-Sun relations, volcanoes, and basic climatology, to name just a few. Although missing from its pages is any discussion or illustration of plate tectonics (it predates the paradigm shift), I love this old book. I drink in its pages during idle hours and lose myself in its simplicity. Also includes well-chosen two-tone photographs. A one-of-a-kind classic.
