For courses in World Regional Geography. This explicitly global approach to world regional geography emphasizes global connections and the stories behind the maps and offers lively discussions of how these forces and processes play themselves out in individual places. The authors make the most current and powerful ideas in geography accessible to the introductory student. Emphasis on core regions, key cities, and distinctive landscapes accommodates a global connections approach as well as the course's traditional focus on places at the local scale.
