Contemporary Human Geography: Culture, Globalization, Landscape, 2nd Edition

What you’ll find inside

Contemporary Human Geography: Culture, Globalization, Landscape, 2nd Edition by Roderick P. Neumann and Patricia L. Price introduces the study of people, place and the patterns that connect them. Written for introductory human-geography courses, it presents the field as a way to investigate how culture, mobility, nature and globalization shape everyday life and landscapes.

Explore people, place and global change

The book is organized around themes that help connect topics across regions and scales. Its chapters address cultural geography, cultural difference, population, language, race and ethnicity, political geography, religion, agriculture and food, development, and cities. Examples and activities encourage readers to think about how geographers gather evidence, frame questions and interpret relationships between people and places. The second edition also adds contemporary material on mapping tools, mobility, borders and development.

Who may find it useful

Consider this edition for an introductory human-geography class or for structured reading about cultural landscapes and globalization. It offers a broad view across social, political and economic topics rather than a reference limited to one region or method. Check that your course requires the second edition and compare the assigned chapter list before choosing; a different course may use a newer edition or another framework for human geography.
