The authors maintain that regions are the outcomes of a set of twin forces of globalization and regionalization. Therefore, each regional chapter stresses the global systems of connection that drive unique regional processes, making regions different. By studying regions, students not only learn the critical elements of different places, but also come to understand the fundamental processes that drive change. The Fifth Edition discusses geographies of emerging regions, incorporates cutting-edge data visualizations and infographics, including Quick Response codes linking to online media, features a completely modernized cartography program, and much more.    Package consists of: Books a la Carte for World Regions in Global Context: Peoples, Places, and Environments, 5/e

For introductory courses in Human or Cultural Geography found in Geography, Anthropology, or Social Science departments.This Updated Second Edition provides professors and students with a Human Geography textbook that contains materials about recent world events triggered by the September 11th attacks on New York City and Washington D.C. The Updated Second Edition contains new materials that address the actual world events triggered by the attacks, and perhaps, more importantly, adds materials focused on providing professors with a tool to more effectively help their students understand the roots of these problems. Additionally, there is new material in the book to help professors teach their students something more about terrorism as a concept."In order to understand places, they must first be made meaningful to us."

Coverage throughout is intellectually empowering and capable of cultivating a life-long geographical imagination. The authors give students access to the latest ideas, concepts, and theories while concurrently developing a strong foundation in the fundamentals.

Product Description: Making Worlds brings together thirty-one distinguished feminist activists, artists, and scholars to address a series of questions that resonate with increasing urgency in our current global environment: How is space imagined, represented, arranged, and distributed? What are the lived consequences of these configurations? And how are these questions affected by gender and other socially constructed categories of "difference"—race, ethnicity, sexuality, class, nationality? How are the symbolic formations of place and space marked by cultural ideologies that carry across into the places and spaces we inhabit, the boundaries and institutions we maintain? In recent years these questions have occasioned intensifying debates, but they have seldom extended beyond the boundaries of individual academic disciplines or crossed the divide that has traditionally separated the academy from the "outside" world...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)
