The Cultural Landscape: An Introduction to Human Geography (8th Edition)
This best-selling text follows a thematic approach that emphasizes where people and human activities are located, why they are located in particular locations, and what significance these observed arrangements represent. The text emphasizes a strong social science perspective while applying concepts from the physical sciences where needed. By combining descriptive and systematic approaches, the text provides students with a larger, more process-oriented view of such geo-social issues as political conflict, urbanization, migration patterns, and economic development. The underlying theme of the text has been subtley modernized, and many topics are now placed in "globalization vs. local diversity" format.--This text refers to an alternateHardcoveredition.
