Introduction to Geography: People, Places, & Environment, Sixth
Edition introduces the major tools, techniques, and methodological
approaches of the discipline through new applied visual features
that engage students and reinforce real-world connections. The
authors emphasize the integration of various aspects of geographic
processes and systems by discussing what happens in one set of
geographic processes and how that affects others. For example, what
happens in economic systems affects environmental conditions; what
happens to climate affects political dynamics. The Sixth Edition
has been tightly integrated with MasteringGeography (TM), Pearson's
online homework, tutorial, and assessment product designed to
improve results by helping students quickly master concepts. Note:

The rapid rise of China and India is reshaping our global economic
and environmental systems-raising major issues of stability,
governance, and sustainability. This book develops a framework that
shows the interdependence between economic size, trade, finance,
technology, environment, security, and global governance. Author
Carl J. Dahlman uses this framework to provide data on the speed of
global power shifts and to trace the implications for nations
worldwide. Analyzing this critical moment in historical context, he
offers insights into our most pressing concerns. Specifically,
China and India's unchecked growth has the potential to ignite
trade, resource, cold, and conventional wars. Moreover, these
nations could set in motion monumental challenges related to
climate change. The text warns that the current international
governance system is not up to the challenges of defusing these
frictions. Major powers, including China and India, must do more to
address the gathering storm. Developing sustainable economic and
social relationships will be a most difficult charge, but the cost
of putting off reforms will be lower global welfare. Dahlman ends
the book with starting points for change.

risks?
