This shorter version of the highly successful "Contemporary World
Regional Geography, 3e" gives readers a fresh new approach that
combines fundamental geographical elements, internal regional
diversity, and contemporary issues. This approach allows serious
discussion of cultural and environmental issues, as well as
political and economic issues. The main innovation in this
completely rewritten text is in the ordering of the material
covered. While other texts cut photos, illustrations, and boxed
material from their WRG books, this essentials version is a
completely rewritten text by the authors of "Contemporary World
Regional Geography, 3e". Each of the nine regional chapters opens
with a one- or two-page map of the region, short accounts of people
or events to provide a personal flavor of the region, an outline of
the chapter contents, and a short section placing the region in its
wider global context. Each regional chapter is consistently
organized by three sections. The first section summarizes the
distinctive physical and human geographies of the region; the
second section explores the internal diversity of the region at
subregional, selected country, and local levels. The third section
focuses on a selection of contemporary issues that are important to
the people of each region and frequently have implications for the
rest of the world. Each regional chapter follows the same
framework, allowing students to easily make comparisons from one
world region to the next. Students are encouraged to consider what
it means to be part of a global community and to develop their
geographical understandings of world events. The authors have
created a text that is readable, with a consistent structure within
chapters, containing superior maps and illustrations, and finally -
to offer a concise and more affordable text.
