The new fifth edition enhances coverage in the field by enabling economists and political geographers to work online with GIS maps, spreadsheets, simulations, and animated graphs. The book has been updated to use maps of traditional foods and vernacular phrases for soft drinks to illustrate culture regions. Expanded discussions of migration include a look at international immigration. New material is also presented on the local food movement and the breakdown in negotiations for agricultural trade agreements at the Doha trade summit. In addition, economists and political geographers will find key terms throughout the chapters such as creative class, outsourcing, substitution of capital for labor, and transit-oriented development.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Just your average textbook,
By
This review is from: Human Geography in Action (Paperback)
This textbook is just your average textbook. For my class we had to buy an online code for the course which included the book all online, but comparing the two, I find the book much easier to read and review. The pictures help out and the author goes at a good enough pace as to where I can keep up and understand.

it arrived in good time and was in excellent condition. the only problem i had was that i thought it was a text book and instead it was a lot of hole punched papers for me to put in a binder.
