Summary

"Human Geography explores how human behaviour affects the earth's surface, initiating a process of discovery that engages with subjects such as globalization, politics, biology, economics, philosophy, cultural studies, sociology, and climate change. Illustrated with a well-balanced mix of international and Canadian examples, it offers a comprehensive introduction to the discipline's essential concepts and methods. It also traces the evolution of the field, emphasizing how human geography continues to develop in response to changing human needs. The ninth edition has been completely updated and includes the most current statistics and data and new coverage of urban issues, climate change, aging populations, deindustrialization, as well as much more. In addition, the ninth edition introduces a more streamlined approach to the content, presenting a comprehensive introduction to human geography in 13 chapters, making the text a perfect fit for one-semester courses."--
