Based on decades of research and written in clear, concise prose
by one of the foremost geographers in North America, John C.
Hudson's "Across This Land" is a comprehensive regional geography
of the North American continent.
Clearly organized, the book divides the entire United States and
Canada into six major regions, then further subdivides them into
twelve smaller areas. Hudson emphasizes each region or area's
distinguishing place-specific attributes, including--to a larger
degree than previous regional geographies--political
considerations. In this way, the book tells the story of each
region, relying on a brisk narrative that reveals the dynamic
processes of their distinctive characteristics.
The first extensive regional geography of the North American
continent in over seventy-five years, Hudson's "Across This Land"
will become the standard text in geography courses dealing with
Canada and the U.S. as well as a popular reference work for
scholars, students, and lay readers.
