This book changes the way we view our everyday human landscapes by
taking us on a 22-stop adventure through the heart of Flagstaff,
Arizona. In Flagstaff's America Tour, the reader encounters four
distinct though interacting landscape scenes: a themed historic
business district, a pre-War multi-ethnic neighborhood, an
expanding university campus, and a dynamic automobile commercial
strip. Prior to the tour, Part 1 introduces us to the fascinating
study of geography and the interpretation of human landscapes. In

When creating her post-apocalyptic world of The Hunger Games,
author Suzanne Collins drew from various real-world history and
geography, particularly from Appalachia, which is reflected in the
culture and location of District 12. With the release of her 2019
prequel, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, Collins brought
readers deeper into Appalachia's extraordinary cultural diversity
and its storied musical traditions. This book provides a tour of
human geography, history and culture that establishes the
foundation for the saga's novels and films. Told from the expertise
of a geographer, it explores how place can shape culture, how
social and geographical concepts intersect and how these ideas
apply to The Hunger Games. Specifically, the work explores the idea
of "home," and how attachment to a place is strengthened through
landscape, geography and song.
