Principles of Human Geography

One of the first examples of geographic methods being used for purposes other than to describe and theorise the physical properties of the earth is John Snow’s map of the 1854 Broad Street cholera outbreak. Though a physician and a pioneer of epidemiology, the map is probably one of the earliest examples of Health geography. The now fairly distinct differences between the subfields of physical and human geography developed at a later date. This book is intended for everyone desiring a comprehensive overview of organisation and human resource management not only from academic point of view but from industry point of view too. All the latest concepts and techniques have been presented in a lucid style. It is specifically designed for instructors, teachers, university students and practicing managers.
