The crisp text introduces students to the character of world regional geography-the distinctiveness of different parts of the world-but also the linkages and connections. Part One sets the scene: one introductory chapter discusses the opportunities and dangers in using maps, data, and
different scales of analysis, while another surveys broad global trends.

Asia, Middle East and North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, Australia and Oceania, and North America. Each chapter examines a region's environmental context, historical geography, economic transformation, urban and rural trends, social geography and geopolitics.
Three features distinguish each regional chapter:
* Focus spotlights a unique area within each region
* Connections highlights a regional attribute that connects it to other regions
* Subregions illustrates the diversity within each region
This full-color text-featuring meticulously-crafted original maps-is ideal for instructors who prefer the versatility of a concise book with the advantage of a compelling text.
