For introductory courses in World Regional Geography.
This unique volume covers the world’s regions by 11 experts in their respective fields who are intimately familiar with their material through research, fieldwork, and teaching. Each author employs the central theme of human development to present a vital, issues-oriented overview of the topic. This approach enables instructors to provide a deeper understanding of the character of the world's peoples than the more traditional descriptive approach.
• Comprehensive pedagogy – Includes “Geographer's Craft” thought questions and ten Review Questions at the end of each part.
• Instructor's Resource CD-ROM:
– Provides high-quality electronic versions of photos and illustrations from the book, customizable Power Point lecture presentations, and the Instructor's Manual and Test Item File in MS Word format.
– To further guarantee classroom projection quality, all images are manually adjusted for color, brightness, and contrast.
– For easy reference and identification, all images and resources are organized by chapter number.
• Authoritative and substantive coverage – Provides a multiple-author approach that presents expert coverage of each region.
• Economic development theme – Allows instructors to present a more conceptual treatment than the traditional descriptive treatment of this topic.
• Online study guide:
– Tied chapter-by-chapter to the text.
– Gives students an on-line study guide that offers immediate feedback to study questions, access to current geographical issues, and provides links to other interesting and relevant websites. www.prenhall.com/clawson
• Content reorganization – Condenses the introductory unit (Basic Concepts and Ideas) from four to three chapters, and reworks major sections to reflect the need to introduce students in greater detail to issues of globalization and sustainable development.
• Significant revision to material on Russia and Central Eurasia:
– Expanded from two to three chapters.
– Completely rewritten by two new contributors, Robert Argenbright and William C. Rowe.
– Now includes Afghanistan to better reflect that country’s historical and contemporary ties.
– Reflects the ongoing changes in this vast region of the world in conflicted transition from communism to capitalism.
• A wealth of new material at key points in the text, including:
– A boxed feature on New Orleans reflecting the serious problems of a densely settled and industrialized delta region when faced with a natural disaster of Hurricane Katrina magnitude (US and Canada unit);
– A new section on the European Union and its significance for developmental integration (Europe unit);
– A boxed feature on the meaning of globalization as reflected in the case of Chinese apple exports (Asia unit);
– A boxed feature on environmental problems in desert cities as reflected in the water crisis afflicting the Red Sea city of Jeddah in Saudi Arabia (Middle East and North Africa unit).
• Consolidation of further readings lists at the end of the text.
