Van Loons GEOGRAPHY 1940 HC Book Story Of WORLD PC
Van Loon's Geography; The Story of the World We Live In by VAN LOON, Hendrick Willem, 1940, Picture Cover.
"Through the analogy of half a dozen clean handkerchiefs, Hendrik Van
Loon explains what is happening to the surface of the earth. A plate of
soup helps us to understand air-currents. Under our eyes the course of
the Gulf Stream turns into an enthralling story, and the central
Spanish plateau is reconstructed in imagination by means of a
soup-plate, two saucers and a spoon." "The illustrations form the most
revolutionary aspect of this book. All, of course are drawn by the
author himself. There are about 150 of them. There are numerous maps;
and these maps (another revolutionary idea) are three-dimensional." 525
pp with index.
