"Human Geography explores how human behaviour affects the earth’s surface and helps students draw connections between geography and topics such as politics, biology, economics, cultural studies, sociology, globalization, and climate change. Illustrated with a well-balanced mix of international and Canadian examples, it offers a comprehensive introduction to the discipline’s essential concepts and methods. The tenth edition features 12 chapters (formerly 13 chapters + Introduction and Conclusion) in a structure that better reflects how courses are taught. Content formally found in the Introduction (The Roads Ahead), Chapter 1 (What is Human Geography?), and Chapter 2 (Studying Human Geography) has been condensed into a new Chapter 1. The other chapters in the book have been thoroughly updated and include the most current statistics and data and new coverage of urban issues, climate change, disability, refugees, and much more. All boxes in the tenth edition have been updated and many boxes are completely new, offering students relevant, current information on a wide range of high-interest topics."--
