Material Detail

Introduction to Human Geography: A Disciplinary Approach serves as a standard, customizeable textbook for introductory human or cultural geography courses.

This text includes topical chapters common to most texts in this market, but includes a chapter on Crime/Punishment Geography as well as Gender - which is unusual.

Although the concepts are universal, there's purposeful attention to US examples which helps students activate prior learning.

The text also has a greater emphasis on disciplinary thinking and methodologies of the geographer than popular texts in the field, which focus primarily on vocabulary, recall and memorization of facts.

Assesment testing has demonstrated small, but significant gains in acheivement scores using like-questions vs. previous semesters using other, popular, alternatives to this text.

Ancillary materials, including test banks and lecture notes and slides are avaialble to faculty free of charge.
