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.

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.

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.

This book is utter garbage! I cannot stress it enough! I used it for a Miami University (Oxford, OH) Geography class. It's full of errors, and makes suppositions in a slanted way. The graphs are not dated (as well as outdated) and seem mostly to prove Rubenstein's point. I am working on a letter to Rubenstein, who is a staff member at MU in Oxford telling him that he and his book are worthless to everyone. I can give numerous examples of problems, from assertions about New Orleans and Seattle's WTO "riots" (by anarchists who had nothing to do with the conference). If you think it's worth the purchase, then more to you! I would be very wary if you take all the info in the text as Truth. It is NOT!

This book is simply outrageous, it's perfunctory and erroneous.
It gets even worse if you start to infer and make your own assumptions based on the texts.
Although the mistakes can be desribed as minor they are negligent. They nullify any qualtiy because there are simply too many of those 'minor' mistakes.
Some parts are just very much outdated descriptions and in other parts facts are simply faulty.
This is an educational book and for the price that it costs the least I can expect is correct and up-to-day facts. Just a little example: The world's most important Rugby event nowadays is called the '6 Nation's Cup' - not the '5 Nation's Cup'. The author had 8 years time to update this! It's a small detail but as a reader I instantly lose trust in the complete content of the book.
After reading to only half of the chapters I've already compiled a long list of errors that I found.
My recommendation would be not to buy this book.

Great seller. Product was shipped fast, book was in great condition, just as described and great price. Thanks!

Not to shaby for what I paid for. There was some highlighting but that is okay with me and the best part was that I had found the book at the best price between my whole class. No issues with the seller because I had no issues with the book. I'm glad I found this book and was able to purchase it at a reasonable price compared to my school which is asking for about 105.00.

Book was in great condition, shipping time was reasonable. If I ever need to, I would order from this company again.

This seller did not return one of my emails and took three weeks to the day to ship a book - one book - after I requested it go out asap as it was for school. They at least could have emailed me back - and I dropped the class as I could not afford a second book through the book store and I got it so late I was too behind. I know the shipping is allowed at three weeks, but every other seller I have used on Amazon accommodates - and I use Amazon for everything.
