This introductory human geography textbook is characterized by a strong conceptual content, a substantial discussion of all aspects of human geography and an eclectic focus. Links with physical geography and other disciplines are stressed. This second edition includes a number of substantial improvements. Closer links are established between the account of environmental issues and the rest of the text; the accounts of cultural and social geography are substantially improved; an extensive glossary and additional suggested readings are included; the maps are redrawn and a second colour is effectively used. Overall, this second edition retains the strengths of the first and adds to these. This is a book that will encourage students to learn and actively involve them in the educational process.
