For more than four decades it has explained the contemporary world’s geographic realms and their natural environments and human dimensions.  The authors look at the ways people have organized their living space, adapted to changing social as well as environmental circumstances, and continue to confront forces largely beyond their control ranging from globalization to climate change.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book was the first to introduce an approach to Geography that meshes theoretical concepts with regional realities.
