Trusted for its timeliness and readability, this book introduces geography by emphasizing the relevance of geographic concepts to human problems.

Provides new "Global Forces and Local Impacts" boxes in each chapter that explore in depth an issue related to chapter material, focusing on particular regions of the world. Includes new material on medical geography, terrorism, mineral resources, sustainable development, conservation, and biodiversity. Presents new information on gender differences in development . Expands material on Ethnicity, relating ethnicity problems to political conflict; also incorporates material previously found elsewhere in the book, such as U.S. urban patterns and South Africa's history of apartheid. For anyone interested in learning more about world geography.

About the Author
Dr. James M. Rubenstein received his Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University in 1975. His dissertation on French urban planning was later developed into a book entitled The French New Towns (Johns Hopkins University Press). In 1976 he joined the faculty at Miami University, where he is currently Professor of Geography. Besides teaching courses on Urban and Human Geography and writing textbooks, Dr. Rubenstein also conducts research in the automotive industry and has published two books on the subject entitled The Changing U.S. Auto Industry: A Geographical Analysis (Routledge) and Making and Selling Cars: Innovation and Change in the U.S. Auto Industry (The Johns Hopkins University Press). Originally from Baltimore, he is an avid Orioles fan. Stormy, a lab-pointer mix, takes Dr. Rubenstein for a long walk in the woods every day.

Overall -Good text,

This review is from: The Cultural Landscape: An Introduction to Human Geography (9th Edition) (Hardcover)
Fairly good text. I am an education student and will be keeping this as a reference book for when I teach senior high school geography. My only real complaint is the strong western interpretation, otherwise good.
5.0 out of 5 stars

This is a great textbook. I bought it for my Human Geography class. It was well written, easy to read and very informative. I decided not to sell it when I finished reading it, but instead I will keep it in my home library for future reference.

Just another book to program your mind,

This review is from: The Cultural Landscape: An Introduction to Human Geography (9th Edition) (Hardcover)
Clearly this book is part of the "global brainwashing." I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but somethings I do believe because I'm watching it before my eyes. Funny how this subject is REQUIRED for teachers. Just do what you have to do to pass the class, but remember: The higher learning educational system is a FINANCIAL INSTITUTION. Get your paper, but learn how to make your own conclusions.
