Regions, as this comprehensive Geography text is generally known, combines a broad overview of the discipline of Geography with a penetrating assessment of developments in our fast–changing world. Geography links the study of human societies and their natural–environmental settings through a revealing, spatial approach, aided in this book by a unique series of thematic maps at various levels of scale. Thus the focus shifts seamlessly from the global to the regional to the local, yielding insights into the forces that shape the human mosiac of our planet.
From glaciation to globalization, desertification to devolution, Mexico to Madagascar, Regions puts processes and places in spatial context. Inside this cover lies an information highway to geographic literacy, a key to understanding the global map.
This is the study guide to accompany the main text, "Geography" which is an introduction to world regional geography. This edition includes major world events of geographic significance and a substantive revision of the text. Faculty reviewers, regional experts, and student feedback helped shape the revision plan for this edition. As a result, the text has been condensed through the recasting of several chapters, the abbreviation of boxes focusing on systematic fields, and the streamlined integration of features and text.
