Ayyar Swaminatha R. Golden Guide to World Geography

Madras: The Little Flower Co, 1936. — 227 p. For the use of IV, VI Forms.This book it placed in the hands of the high school students not to serve as a textbook: it cannot be said to be a proper substitute for it; but it is indeed a safe and sure guide to the study of Geography as it contains exhaustive questions with answers whose chief merits are brevity and accuracy. Some of the special merits of the book may be briefly indicated. The questions are exhaustive, based on every item of the syllabus; they are carefully selected and arranged Qprding to the new type series. As map work plays an important part in the study of Geography, this aspect has received the most careful attention at the hands of the publishers. The inclusion of an exhaustive number of maps for each of the continents is the great merit of this book. The blocks have been prepared with great care at much cost, since the map question in the geography paper carries more than 30% of the marks. The author’s aim in preparing a book with these merits and placing it in the hands of the student public is to afford all possible help to the students.
