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. Contents: Introduction to Human Geography • Field of Human Geography • Challenges of Urbanization and Environmental Degradation • Socio-Economic Status of Slum Dwellers • Poverty and Slums—Impact of Changing Economic Landscape • Human Migration • The Village Community • Rural Economy.

Environmental geography is the branch of geography that describes and explains the spatial aspects of interactions between humans and the natural world. It requires an understanding of the dynamics of geology, meteorology, hydrology, biogeography, ecology, and geomorphology, as well as the ways in which human societies conceptualize the environment. To a certain degree it may be seen as a successor of physical anthropogeography-a term coined by the Vienna Geographer Albrecht Penck in 1924-and geographical cultural or human ecology. The book offers comprehensive and up-to-date geographical information on all the aspects of the environment. It is an essential reading for the students of geography and environmental science. It will also be of great value to a broader social science audience interested in the application of social knowledge to the understanding of environmental problems at the global and local scales. Contents: Transport and Environmental Degradation . Our Changing Environment and Industry . Forest and Wildlife Vs. Market Economy . Accessibility and Flow Models .
