Human Geography For Dummies
Acerca deste livro eletrónico
Human Geography For Dummies introduces you to the ideas and perspectives encompassed by the field of human geography, and makes a great supplement to human geography courses in high school or college. So what is human geography? It’s not about drawing maps all over your body (although you’re welcome to do that if you want—no judgment). Human geography explores the relationship between humans and their natural environment, tracking the broad social patterns that shape human societies. Inside, you’ll learn about immigration, urbanization, globalization, empire and political expansion, and economic systems, to name a few. This learner-friendly Dummies guide explains all the key concepts clearly and succinctly.
- Find out how location and geography impact population, culture, economics, and politics
- Learn about contemporary issues in human migration, health, and global peace and stability
- Get a clear understanding of all the key concepts covered in your introductory human geography class
- Understand how society got to where it is, and get a glimpse into potential changes in the future
Human Geography For Dummies is perfect for students who need additional study materials or simplified explanations. It’s also a fun read for anyone curious about the comings and goings of people on this planet of ours.
