"This is the Eighth Edition of a book that, since its first appearance in 2003, has undergone several significant changes while maintaining its essential strengths. We first wrote this book because so many of you, teachers and students alike, expressed the need for a text that provided an introduction to concepts and regions in world geography-but that did so in a concise manner and in the context of current world affairs. That is still the thrust of the book today, and this Eighth Edition, we believe, meets that challenge better than ever"--

Anyone interested in learning about geographic concepts will appreciate this concise book that highlights the most important concepts. The fifth edition presents authoritative content, currency, and outstanding cartography. It continues to build on its strength for understanding maps with the help of additional question types.
