Description: Cultural Geography (3rd ed.) provides a survey of both geographic principles and every country of the world through a regional approach. Following the theme of a Grand Tour, students "travel" from continent to continent around the world studying the cultures, land forms, climates, resources, economy, religions, and government of each country. This new edition is filled with photographs, charts, maps, and first-person accounts that make this "virtual world tour" an exciting and stimulating experience. - Publisher.
