Geography Reference
In-Depth Information
Summary
Our study of human geography will analyze people and places and explain how they
interact across space and time to create our world. Chapters 2 and 3 lay the basis for
our study of human geography by looking at where people live. Chapters 4-7 focus on
aspects of culture and how people use culture and identity to make sense of themselves
in their world. The remaining chapters examine how people have created a world in
which they function economically, politically, and socially, and how their activities in
those realms re-create themselves and their world.
