Since its first appearance, Geography: Realms, Regions, and
Concepts has consistently broken new ground in the interpretation and
teaching of world regional geography. For more than four decades,
REGIONS, as it has come to be called, has explained the contemporary
world's geographic realms and their natural environments and human
dimensions. The authors look at the ways people have organized their
living space, adapted to changing social as well as environmental
circumstances, and continue to confront forces largely beyond their
control, ranging from globalization to climate change.
This book was the first to introduce an approach to Geography that
meshes theoretical concepts with regional realities. The evolving
regional content of the chapters in REGIONS, 18th Edition,
reflects the dynamic nature of the world's geography; the changing and
growing number of concepts mirror the progress of the discipline; and
the ongoing introduction of new digital features reflects the
instructional possibilities of new technologies.
