Perfect for AP* Human Geography! Geographers believe that the phenomena on the earth's surface and not random, but rather the result of a complex series of processes going on at the local, regional and international scale. Human Geography, 1e by Jon Malinowski and David Kaplan will introduce you to how geographers attempt to make sense of the diverse reality of human populations on Earth's surface. Human Geography, 1e uses a modular approach. Each of the 18 chapters is divided into page "spreads" to easily allow an instructor the flexibility to customize his or her course.
