Geography
Why It Matters

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Ever since humans sketched primitive maps in the dirt, the quest to understand our surroundings has been fundamental to our survival. Studying geography revealed that the earth was round, showed our ancestors where to plant crops, and helped them appreciate the diversity of the planet. Today, the world is changing at an unprecedented pace, as a result of rising sea levels, deforestation, species extinction, rapid urbanization, and mass migration. Modern technologies have brought people from across the globe into contact with each other, with enormous political and cultural consequences. As a subject concerned with how people, environments, and places are organized and interconnected, geography provides a critical window into where things happen, why they happen where they do, and how geographical context influences environmental processes and human affairs. These perspectives make the study of geography more relevant than ever, yet it remains little understood.In this engrossing book, Alexander B. Murphy explains why geography is so important to the current moment.
Cultural Encounters with the Environment

In Cultural Encounters with the Environment, a distinguished group of contributors offers a fresh and original view of contemporary geography. The authors explore the role of four traditional themes in the “new cultural geography”: the interplay between the evolution of particular biophysical niches and the activities of the culture groups that inhabit them; the diffusion of cultural traits; the establishment and definition of culture areas; and the distinctive mix of geographical characteristics that gives places their special character in relation to one another. By examining how cultural space is constructed; how environment is remade, understood, and imaged as a consequence; and how people lay claim to place, this volume establishes a compelling case for the importance of these enduring concepts to present and future trajectories in cultural geography.

Fouberg/Murphy: Human Geography: People, Place, and Culture, 12th Edition, teaches students to appreciate the diversity of people, places, and cultures, and understand the role people play in shaping our world. The goals of this edition are to provide geographic context to global, regional, national, and local issues and to teach students to think geographically and critically about these issues. Human Geography features beautifully designed maps, dozens of vibrant photographs taken by the author team, and author and guest field notes that help students see how geographers read cultural landscapes and use fieldwork to understand places.

Fouberg’s Human Geography, 12th Edition, now integrates Threshold Concepts to help students develop their ability to think geographically. Once they learn and apply one of these concepts in the context of a given place, students integrate it into their thinking and can draw from it as they learn new material and explore other places.

Now in a completely updated, full-color edition, this leading textbook has been thoroughly revised to reflect the sweeping economic, social, and political changes the past decade has brought to Europe and to incorporate new research and teaching approaches in regional geography. The authors have especially expanded their discussion of climate change and other environmental challenges facing Europe; migration and the rise of right-wing populist movements; and Brexit and other issues facing the EU. They employ a cultural-historical approach that is ideally suited to facilitate understanding of Europe’s complex geographical character. Their topical organization—including environment, ethnicity, religion, language, demography, politics, industry, and urban and rural life—offers students a holistic understanding of the diverse cultural area that is Europe. Inclusive, rich in ideas, lively, interesting, and humanistic, The European Culture Area remains the text of choice for courses on the geography of Europe.

Geografía: ¿Por qué importa?

La creciente rapidez de la expansión de la civilización y de la tecnología hace que el mundo que nos rodea se transforme a pasos agigantados (cambio climático y sus consecuencias, urbanización acelerada y migraciones masivas) y acentúa la importancia cada vez mayor del conocimiento y valoración de la Geografía. Relegada a menudo a una posición subordinada, ésta, como materia que atañe a la organización de la interconexión de las poblaciones, los diferentes entornos ambientales y los lugares, proporciona sin embargo una perspectiva inmejorable de cómo suceden estos cambios, de por qué lo hacen en un lugar preciso y no en otro, y de su repercusión en los procesos del medio ambiente y los asuntos humanos. Esta reivindicación de la Geografía, tan apasionada como bien fundada, llevada a cabo por A. B. Murphy preconiza «pensar geográficamente» como medio de fortalecer la sociedad civil, de contribuir a una mejor toma de decisiones por parte de los gobiernos y los grandes empresarios en provecho de todos, y de enriquecer la existencia del individuo, haciéndole tomar conciencia del mundo que lo rodea.
