Why do you live where you do? The answer is a lot more complicated
than it might seem. Why that house? Why this community? Why do
cities sprout where they do? And what makes living there even
possible? Geography, topography, climate, landscape, food,
politics, economics, and more all play a role in how we choose the
place we call home. This book takes readers on a tour of various
ways humans adapt to our environments -- or change them to suit our
needs. It considers the big picture -- we live on Earth because it
has a breathable atmosphere -- right down to the little things,
like friendly neighbors, that simply make us happy. "Why We Live
Where We Live" looks back in history at the transition from nomadic
hunting to farming and the rise of cities following the Industrial
Revolution. It also looks ahead to anticipate new concerns: how
will climate change and rising water affect people who live near
the ocean? Can humans survive in space? This comprehensive,
cross-curricular resource will equip readers with solid background
in human habitation and context about their place on the planet.
