Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Exercises on the Weather and Climate of the British Isles and North-West Europe The value of practical work in Geography is now so widely recognised that in all schools where the subject is efficiently taught practical work in all branches of the science that deals with the earth as the home of man forms no inconsiderable part of the syllabus. A glance at the Geography Papers set in Public Examinations (e.g. Oxford and Cambridge Locals) within the last few years brings out the fact that more and more emphasis is being laid on practical work in connection with climate in general and weather in particular. Materials for exercises on the weather of the British Isles and North-west Europe are not perhaps readily accessible to most teachers and hence the writer feels that the following exercises may help to supply that want. The chief aim of the present book is to present in as simple a manner as possible a series of exercises which bring out the main principles in that complicated subject - British Weather. The basis of the whole work is the actual construction of weather maps and these are indispensable to an appreciation of our weather. All the data have been taken directly from the Daily Weather Reports published by the Meteorological Office.
