World Geography and Cultures

World Geography and Cultures offers a fascinating view of the world enlivened by a meticulous presentation that focuses on the development of geographic literacy. Every region is studied in three parts: physical geography, cultural geography, and current events. World Geography and Cultures delivers what teachers want: a geography program with relevance -- why geography is important and how it relates to their students. This book offers consistent organization of physical geography, cultural geography, and case studies about living in the region that helps students understand the similarities and differences among regions -- giving them context in which to understand current world events. - Publisher.
