About this title

Synopsis

This introduction to world regional geography uses fundamental concepts to organize the world around developed and less developed regions, while also providing basic systematic geography. Includes major geographically significant world events through the Spring of 1996.

From the Back Cover

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.
