Organized according to a unique thematic framework, it encourages students to consider a wide range of topics and view them from five different perspectives. Thematic Approach The five themes of "The Human Mosaic--culture region, cultural diffusion, cultural ecology, cultural interaction, and cultural landscape--are introduced and explained in the first chapter and serve as the framework for the topical chapters that follow. Each theme is applied to a variety of geographical topics: demography, agriculture, the city, religion, language, ethnicity, politics, industry, folk and popular culture.
