Product Description

The range of subject matter encompassed by human geography is perhaps the broadest of any academic discipline: from biology to philosophy, demography to politics, sociology to cultural studies, global warming to economic globalization. This textbook is no less wide-ranging. It offers a balanced, comprehensive introduction not only to essential concepts and methodologies but to the history of human geography, emphasizing how the discipline has evolved--and continues to develop--in response to changing human needs. Leading the way for Canadian students for more than a decade,Human Geography continues to present a truly global human geographic approach: *Generously illustrated with maps, figures, and a stunning new photo program, this fifth edition has been redesigned throughout to enhance readability and student's comprehension. *Accurate and timely, the fifth edition, like its predecessors, has been thoroughly revised to reflect recent developments in many areas, including globalization and geopolitical events, and includes the most up-to-date statistical information available. *Balanced and comprehensive, Human Geography presents a rich mix of international and Canadian examples.
