What is Human Geography about?

Introducing human geography from a unique global perspective, this concise but comprehensive work provides readers with a basis for understanding the human world as it is today and as it has evolved through the centuries. Exploring the long history of human geography, from pre-classical maps to today's technical advances, and stressing its links with other academic disciplines in the social sciences, humanities, and physical sciences, the book offers a new organizational framework exploring all of human geography in a logical sequence, and introducing all relevant methodologies, including environmental determinism and possibi8lism, positivism, humanism, and Marxism. The author presents human geography as a pragmatic, wide-ranging discipline, grounded in space and place, with a strong explanatory power for major cultural and economic issues, continually evolving in response to the changing needs of society. Offering readers a firm foundation in theory, Human Geography also provides a wealth of provocative case studies chosen to illustrate philosophical and conceptual ideas, and to impart basic geographical knowledge. Accessible and comprehensive, it is essential reading for anyone w
