More DescriptionThis concise but comprehensive text introduces human geography from a world perspective, providing students with a basis for understanding the human world as it is today and as it has evolved. Exploring the long history of human geography and stressing its links with other academic disciplines, it offers a new organizational framework exploring all human geography and introducing all relevant methodologies. Grounded in space and place, human geography is shown to have a strong explanatory power for major cultural and economic issues.
