5-0 out of 5 stars Geography and History lesson in one...
This book was developed as a school textbook in the early 1900's.Although it's title shows it was intended as a Geography book, this book is really a great read, showing the world-view of the time it was produced and many, many facets of the world that you would not see in a Geography textbook today.
From discussing mankind as "Races of men" and linking them to specific colors (something that is not politically correct today) to describing the types of climate, zones of plant life, and what products are produced by various states, this book really tells a lot about the times.
My favorite part of the book is the illustration.Through almost every page, there are detailed maps and intricate drawings of parts of the world and of societies as they were back then.
This is a great book to have in your library!

5-0 out of 5 stars An introduction to the Hoosier state for young students
Abraham Lincoln was born in Kentucky and he is buried in Illinois, but the 16th President grew upon the Indiana frontier.Ann Heinrichs reminds her young readers of that fact in "A State Built on Traditions," the first chapter of this look at "Indiana" for the America the Beautiful, Second Series.This informative volume will indicate that almost every aspect of life has changed for the Hoosiers of Indiana, but will also emphasize how the state is still most farmland and its traditional values are still very much alive.

Three chapters are devoted to the history of the state, beginning with Chapter Two, "Out of the Wilderness," which traces the region from the Mound Builders of the Mississippian culture that first settled the land to the territory becoming the 19th state following the last of the Indian Wars fought by General William Henry Harrison.Chapter Three, "Building the New State," looks at Indiana in the 19th century, while Chapter Four, "Into the Modern Age," covers the 20th century.The geography of the state is covered in Chapter Five, "Over the Hills and Plains," which divides the state into the Till Plains, the Great Lakes Plains, the Southern Hills and Lowlands.

Some of what you can see when you visit the state is the subject of Chapter Six, "Exploring Indiana," such as "Touchdown Jesus" at Notre Dame, the restored pioneer village at Conner Prairie, the George Rogers Clark National Historical Park, the Historic New Harmony utopian community, and Lincoln's restored boyhood home in Lincoln City. The politics of the state is explored in Chapter Seven, "Governing the Hoosier State," which is where young readers learn about the state river (Wabash River), which explains the state song ("On the Banks of the Wabash, Far Away").

Chapter Eight, "Hoosiers at Work" is about the state's economy, which sees farmers raising ostriches and llamas along with the corn, hogs and soybeans that dominate the agriculture.This book has what is probably the simplest recipe in the series with grilled corn on the cob.Chapter Nine, "People Who Make a Difference" looks at where people live and the state's colleges.Chapter Ten, "Arts and Sports," covers the famous citizens of the state, which includes David Letterman, John Mellencamp, Cole Porter, James Whitcomb Riley, and Larry Bird.

Throughout the book there are dozens of informative sidebars where we get to find out about more famous Hoosiers, from Tecumseh to Mark Spitz, along with places to visit such as Wyandotte Cave and the Smoking Dune.You also get to find out why the Hoosiers are called Hoosiers.The book is filled with full-color photographs and original maps.When you get to the back of the book you will find a detailed Timeline comparing U.S. and Indiana state history, pages of Fast Facts that provide easy access to key statistics, and a list of books, organizations and Internet sites where young students can go To Find Out More. ...

4-0 out of 5 stars Great Indiana Book
What a great coffee table book. It's got a great combination of high-quality photos and real, interesting information about the state of Indiana. Giving facts based on the letter of the alphabet is creative, and the overall layout of the book and its information is very high quality.

5-0 out of 5 stars H is for Hoosier
This book is very informative about the state of Indiana.Bought this for our grandchildren so they could learn about their grandfathers birth state.

5-0 out of 5 stars Great book
I loved this book as much as my 6 year old daughter.It has a very cute little Indiana history lesson while going through the alphabet.I know someone expecting a baby and I bought the book for her also.I think it is great for ages newborn and up.

5-0 out of 5 stars H is for Hoosier -- An Indiana Alphabet
This was my first purchase of the books in this series from Sleeping Bear Press. I loved it so much, I started buying the books about the other 49 states. I think they are tremendous for kids -- and adults can learn a lot about each state also.At least, consider owning the one that is about your own state of residence! Now I own all 50 State Alphabet books and can't wait to share them with my grandkids.A great investment.

1-0 out of 5 stars Multi-Cultural Teacher
I was very excited when I purchased this book.I thought it was a great idea to teach children about the state.However, I do not feel that the author spent anytime researching the state of Indiana.Also, there is not any racial diversity in this book.If one was to look at this book, they wouldthink Indiana only has caucasion americans living in the state. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars the joy and pitfalls of scaling
In the early 1960's, Marvin Herzog was the chief interviewer for the Language and Culture Atlas of Ashkenazic Jewry (LCAAJ). The leader of this project was Uriel Weinreich who was also the author's thesis advisor at Columbia University. As the data poured in on the patterns of linguistic and cultural variation between the Jewish communities of pre-Holocaust eastern Europe, the necessity of a method for analyzing this vast quantity of data became obvious. Herzog developed such a method and it became the basis of the doctoral dissertation which constitutes this book.
Herzog, who later became my mentor at Columbia, had the idea that it was possible to isolate a part of the territory covered which was both small enough to be tractable and yet could be regarded as a miniature scale model of the entire territory, capable of exhibiting the dynamics of dialect formation that shaped all of Yiddish-speaking Europe which is an area about as extensive as the northeastern US.
The way he did this was suggested to him by the over all shape of the dialect regions that was emerging as data from the whole area surveyed came in.The bulk of Yiddish-speaking Europe, the part where East Yiddish was spoken, turned out bo be divided into three regions: one in the southwest, one in the northeast and one in the middle. The area in the middle was shaped like an inverted 'V' tilted toward the northwest. The point of the 'V' was in a part of northern Poland with Warsaw in the southwest, Lomza in the northeast and Brest-Litovsk in the middle.
Since the area around the point of 'V' is a miniature version of the whole 'V', Herzog realized that this small area in northern Poland could be regarded as a scale model of the whole East Yiddish territory even though this small area made up less than a tenth of the whole territory surveyed. He made an intensive study of linguistic and cultural variation attested in interviews with people from 34 communities.
The author, a modest person who was perhaps constrained by the conventions of writing a dissertation in a rather conservative field, does not say so explicitly, but the idea of studying dialect interactions in an auspiciously chosen small part of the territory of a language in order to shed light on the dynamics of dialect formation within the language as a whole was a singularly happy one. The principle that regular relationships that hold sway over a small area can hold sway over a much larger one has proven fruitful in my own research.
If this book has a defect it comes from overgeneralizing this principle of the equivalence of different scales. While it is true that accounts of small scale dialect processes can often be scaled up to give a true picture of large scale processes, the reverse is not necessarily the case. That is
large scale structures are not always mirrored in the small scale. I think that Herzog assumed large scale structures generally carry over to smaller scales and this accounts for a dubious choice that he made in presenting his data in map form. A geographical distribution can be presented by showing each location with an iconic symbol to indicate the variant form found there or by drawing lines across the map dividing it into regions in which particular forms predominate. Historically, people working on LCAAJ data have preferred showing the individual locations. Drawing lines adds nothing to the clarity of presentation and requires that the designer make arbitrary decisions as to the exact course of the lines. At its worst, (not in this book but in the first volume of LCAAJ) the line method can suppress detail about individual locations. Herzog favors the line method. I suspect that this is because it works well with maps of the whole Yiddish territory where lines give a fair representation of the gross patterns of variation and he believed, wrongly, that it should work equally well in small scale maps. It does not because there is more irregularity on the smallest scales and the lines tend to gloss this over. But this is a relatively minor objection that detracts very little from a brilliant book.
The data presented in this book can throw new light on the general history of Jews in Eastern Europe. Two examples illustrate this: In the common historical narrative, Hasidism spread from the southwest to the northeast of the territory studied here and was partly beaten back by the opposition of the Lithuanian rabbis. Herzog shows that the present distribution of Hasidism coincides with that of techniques for preparing Sabbath fish and farfl (a kind of pasta). Since rabbis could not have influenced these domestic routines, Herzog suggests that well-entrenched differences in folk culture, including differences in worldview were the ultimate determinates of where Hasidism gained a permanent foothold. Another pattern offers a window into the deeper past of the Jewish settlements. The linguistic features of West Slavic languages (represented here by Polish) differ from those of Eastern Slavic ones (represented here by Belarusian and Ukrainian). Yiddish dialects have both West Slavic and East Slavic borrowings and, as would be expected, Yiddish loans from West Slavic are found to the west of Yiddish loans from East Slavic. However, a comparison of the boundary between West Slavic and East Slavic loans in Yiddish and the boundary between West Slavic and East Slavic languages themselves, reveals an interesting result. The boundary within Yiddish is to the west of the boundary within the Slavic languages, indicating that East Slavicisms have penetrated further west in Yiddish then they have in the Slavic languages themselves. This surprising result contradicts the common assumption of historians that the Jewish settlement in this area went from west to east. If that were true, the Jewish settlers would be expected to have carried West Slavicism with them into East Slavic territory. Instead they appear to have carried East Slavicisms into West Slavic territory. Thus it appears that the course of settlement included migration from east to west. ... Read more
