An Introduction to Human Geography: Issues for the 21st CenturyP. W. Daniels An introduction to human geography provides a comprehensive overview of the major topics within human geography, including settlements, population, resources, the economy, consumption, citizenship, culture, society, the politics of place and globalisation. Coherent and substantial chapters ensure balanced treatment across the field of human geography. Focussing on some of the key geographical challenges facing the world at the beginning of the twenty-first century, this stimulating text examines the forces that shape economies and societies on what the Editors describe as our, '...interconnected, contradictory, complex, conflict-ridden and fantastically diverse planet.' Every chapter is written by an expert in the field, and each offers a unique, engaging and relevant perspective.
