Trusted for its timeliness, readability, and structured learning path, the bestselling title, The Cultural Landscape: An Introduction to Human Geography explores the patterns and processes of Earth’s human landscapes. Rubenstein weaves the themes of globalization and diversity and their relationship throughout the text, addressing these themes with a clear organization and presentation that engages students and appeals to educators.
UPDATED Sustainability & Our Environment relates the principal topics of human geography to overarching issues of economic, social, and environmental sustainability for our planet.
UPDATED Doing Geography and the accompanying What’s Your Geography? features discuss geographic tools, techniques, and skills used to address real-world problems.
