In 1921, Isaiah Bowman, then director of the American Geographical Society, published a book entitled The New World. His book was written, as many of you will remember, to bring out the new geographical conditions resulting from World War I. When this war is over, we shall need another book of the same sort, for tremendous changes are under way. In our reaction to these changes, we have begun to remake many phases of our teaching of geography. From these new emphases in geography, I wish to single out three for brief consideration: (1) the great increase in the amount of geography being taught, (2) the current emphasis on global geography, and (3) the increase in the use of maps, particularly polar maps
