This third edition introduces the diverse scope of human geography, its fascinating history and close links with other disciplines, and explains why human geographers do what they do. There are substantial revisions, updates, and additions to the content--including new text, boxes, figures,tables, maps, and colour photographs--that makes this full colour volume an improvement of the previous edition. Also, inside the front and back covers are world maps of political boundaries and another of world relief and drainage, which provide useful references. All of these features, plus anextensive glossary, encourage the student to explore further within this eclectic and exciting discipline.
