World Regional Geography : The Essentials (3 Revised edition)

Geography connects the social and physical sciences, revealing a beautiful, organized order in the world at large that most Americans have yet to examine because the subject, as a whole, was removed from the classroom years ago.Designed for students in their first geography class, World Regional Geography: The Essentials broadly covers the physical, social, and political concepts that have immediate impact on the varied, interconnected regions of the world from pole to pole, the oceans, and everywhere in between. Immediate exercises allow learners to map key places and features they have studied, reinforcing the material presented and offering a hands-on, succinct geographic experience.  Acquired knowledge allows them to:identify political states, islands, and major citiesplace topographic features, such as mountain peaks and ranges, bodies of water, and desertslocate points of interest and make a bucket list of must-visit destinationsBy the end of the course, budding geographers will have created a personal atlas of the world.

This foundation is critical for learners who wish to build on their knowledge of all the sciences.
