Geography

Since its first appearance, Geography: Realms, Regions, and Concepts has consistently broken new ground in the interpretation and teaching of world regional geography. For more than four decades, REGIONS, as it has come to be called, has explained the contemporary world's geographic realms and their natural environments and human dimensions.

The authors examine how people have organized their living spaces, adapted to changing social and environmental circumstances, and continue to confront forces largely beyond their control, ranging from globalisation to climate change.

This book was the first to introduce an approach to Geography that meshes theoretical concepts with regional realities. The evolving regional content of the chapters in REGIONS, 18th Edition, reflects the dynamic nature of the world's geography. The changing and growing number of concepts mirrors the progress of the discipline, and the ongoing introduction of new digital features reflects the instructional possibilities of new technologies.
