Product Description

Geography

"... a reference work as well as a textbook ... unlikely to be bettered during the next 20 years."

Product Description

This is the second in the series Oxford Regional Environments (series editors Antony Orme and Andrew Gondie), following The Physical Geography of Africa. The book is divided into three parts: I) Systematic coverage of the main components of the physical environment, II) Regional treatment based on the biome concept, and III) Human responses to the physical landscape. The book is intended to fill a void in a recent geographic literature by providing an interpretive work that integrates knowledge "across the environment" while placing recent discoveries in a human context.

THE Best Physical Geography textbook to focus on N America.. 6 Nov 2006

By James Safranek - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Hardcover

...written by some of our best U.S. geographers. This book should be reissued in paperback at a decent price for advanced undergrad and grad students in geography.
