内容説明・目次
内容説明
Human history is inextricably tide to the global landscape. Wars, conquests, voyages, and migratory patterns, as well as the spread of technology, ideas, and cultures, have all been affected by geographical features. This volume explores the historical and cultural significance of mountains, plateaus, basins, land gateways, rivers, straits, and seas. Over 160 alphabetically arranged entries cover North America, Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, South American, and Europe, including Russia as far east as the Ural Mountains. Entries contain geological, geographical, and historical information, cross-references, and suggestions for further reading. Some entries also contain discussions of myths and legends surrounding geographical features and relevant environmental issues and concerns. Entries include Appalachian Piedmont, English Channel, and Sierra Madre Oriental. The volume is supplemented by an introduction, maps, illustrations, a bibliography, and an index. Students of geology, geography, and history will find this reference invaluable for gaining a better understanding of the reciprocal relationship that exists between people and their natural environment.
