Book Description

Excerpt from Poland as a Geographical Entity Different races of men have different characteristics, which allow us to distinguish one race from another. One race has straight hair, another has curled hair; one has a broad head, another has a long, head; one has blue eyes, another black. We may class men according to their physical characteristics. We may go farther and differentiate individual men according to their differences. No two men, even of the same race, are exactly alike. By making an inventory of their physical characteristics every man might be differentiated from every other. A somewhat similar method has been applied to geographical regions. These have been studied and classified. Certain similarities have been found. This, that, and the other are mountainous and rainy; other regions are flat and dry. They obviously fall into different groups corresponding, we may say, to the different races of men. Regions have also been studied and analysed. An inventory has been made of their characteristics so that the points in which they differ from other regions may be noted. No one region is exactly like another, any more than one man is exactly like another. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
