In the 8th edition of this market-leading title, The World
Today continues to break new ground in the interpretation and teaching
of world regional geography. The text explains the contemporary world's
geographic realms in terms of their natural environments and human
dimensions in a clear and concise fashion. 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 offers an approach to Geography that meshes theoretical
concepts with regional realities. The evolving regional content of the
chapters in the 8th edition of The World Today 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.
