Physiographic Map from "Geography of Ohio," published in 1923. During the early 1900s, the study of regional-scale geomorphology was termed "physiography". Physiography later was considered to be a portmanteau of "physical" and "geography", and therefore synonymous with physical geography, and the concept became embroiled in controversy surrounding the appropriate concerns of that discipline.
There are two other small bird families with treecreeper or creeper in their name, which are not closely related: the Australian treecreepers (Climacteridae) the Philippine creepers (Rhabdornithidae) The wallcreeper was originally described in the family Certhiidae but is now considered as more closely related to the nuthatches.
Reaper-binders were in wide use in the People's Republic of Poland, but farmers often could not operate them due to shortages of twine and a lack of replacement parts. This was such a regular occurrence that baling twine ( Polish : sznurek do snopowiązałki ) remains a symbol of the dysfunction of the communist economy in the cultural memory ...
