Description

This is the study guide to accompany the main text, "Geography" which is an introduction to world regional geography. This edition includes major world events of geographic significance and a substantive revision of the text. Faculty reviewers, regional experts, and student feedback helped shape the revision plan for this edition. As a result, the text has been condensed through the recasting of several chapters, the abbreviation of boxes focusing on systematic fields, and the streamlined integration of features and text.
