Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Duab of Turkestan: A Physiographic Sketch and Account of Some Travels His book is an attempt at combining a record of exploration with the teaching of a little elementary physiography. Facts newly observed and theories of my own are also woven into the general description of a characteristic region. May the difficulties of the experiment in some measure reconcile the general reader, desirous of hearing something interesting or amusing, and the critical scholar in search of information. The style of the book sufficiently accounts for the omission of an incubus of footnotes and literary references. I have absorbed the writings of others, not quoted them. The bibliographical list at the end will, I hope, form the necessary acknowledgment of intellectual property. Scientific discussion has been reserved for the Appendix, where l have laid stress on the intricacies of many problems, also drawing attention to various questions to be cleared up by future travellers. The student of physical geography for whom this book has chiefly been written need not despair when faced by frequent doubts. Scepticism tempered with enthusiasm is the attitude of true science.

Book Description
The book deals with that portion of Russian Turkestan lying between the Oxus and the Jaxartes rivers and including the two cities of Bokhara and Samarkand and a portion of the Pamirs. The author calls it a physiographic sketch and an account of some travels. There are 207 maps, diagrams and photographs. The half-tones are excellent, some of them are remarkable. Only in the perfectly clear atmosphere of the arid lands could such photographs be secured. The sketch maps and diagrams are very effective, unusually so. The author is modest and his narrative is not lumbered up with inane details such as travelers too often impose upon readers of their books.The author's delicate touches of humor, his picturesque language in description, his knowledge of. physiography and climatology, and his familiarity with the literature of his subject, all contribute materially to the excellence of the book. The descriptions of the peoplenomads, city dwellers of Bokhara and Samarkand, native officials, and mountain tribesare interesting reading and bespeak the keen observer and experienced traveler. Much attention is given to physiographic processes and features, but the splendid half tones tell the story better than words. The record of the peculiar action of the weathering agents and of the glaciers is a distinct contribution to physiographic science.In the appendix, the author enters into a discussion of a number of unsettled questions, such as, the number of glacial epochs represented by the morainic deposits in the Pamirs, the value of the evidences of supposed climatic changes in Turkestan in historic times, and the relation of forests to rainfall, but reaches no very definite conclusions. Large Octavo. Hardcover. xv, [1], 563, [1] p. front., illus., fold. plans, fold. maps, diagrams. Cambridge, The University press, 1913 $125
