This textbook actually shows your students what real life geographers do. How they are able to conduct different types of research, develop new insights and teach us more about the world through a geographer's viewpoint. These are all skills that can then be applied in a wide range of academic and professional areas.
With chapters organised into 5 different themes, you can choose which areas of the text you wish to focus on, including (mobility, region, globalization, nature-culture, cultural landscape). You can also introduce your students to a number of fascinating contemporary topics, such as vampire tourism, the rise of the LBGT districts, texting and language modification. Contemporary Human Geography is available with LaunchPad. LaunchPad combines an interactive ebook with high-quality multimedia content and ready-made assessment options, including LearningCurve adaptive quizzing. See `Instructor Resources' and `Student Resources' for further information.
