Description and Table of Contents
Description
The Third Edition of this well-received geography text maintains the approach of previous editions, describing how and why geographic factors create broad global contrasts. There are more maps, vignettes, and case studies plus increased coverage of Africa, Latin America and Asia. Each chapter contains an overview covering all new concepts. Key terms are defined as they appear and all statistics have been updated into the mid-1980s.
