1896 Lecons De Geographie Physique A. De Lapparent Antique French Geography Book

Lecons De Geographie Physique

By Albert De Lapparent

English Translation: " Physical Geography Lessons"

Published by Masson Et Co Editeurs: Paris 1896

NOTES: Includes large foldout map as shown

"Leçons de Géographie Physique (1896) by Albert de Lapparent is a foundational work in the field of physical geography, aimed at educating students in the scientific understanding of Earth's natural processes and structures. The book presents a systematic overview of the Earth's physical features—mountains, rivers, plains, oceans, and climates—explaining their origins and evolution through geological and meteorological principles. Lapparent, a noted French geologist, combines rigorous scientific explanation with clear, accessible language to make complex concepts understandable to learners, particularly within academic or secondary education contexts.

The book is structured as a series of lessons, reflecting its pedagogical purpose, and places a strong emphasis on observation and classification of natural phenomena. It covers key topics such as the formation of landforms, the impact of erosion, the movement of tectonic plates, and the dynamics of weather systems. Leçons de Géographie Physique was widely respected in its time for bringing scientific method into geographic education, and it helped lay the groundwork for modern studies in Earth science by promoting a more analytical and evidence-based approach to understanding the planet's physical environment."
