Description and Table of Contents
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.
