1. Essentials of World Regional Geography (with InfoTrac) by Christopher L. Salter, Joseph J. Hobbs,
Hardcover: 720 pages, Publisher: Brooks Cole
The authors build the story of each region using
contemporary concerns, global issues, and historical
themes to create a complete picture of our ever-changing
planet and its people. The authors help students
understand what aspects of a place give it identity and
personality by detailing what features make it
newsworthy now and what features might make it critical
in the 21st century. This is a market leading text with
a unique chapter layout that allows for flexibility of
topic coverage. "Profile Chapters" introduce a region in
global terms by discussing the overall physiographic,
economic, historical, economic, and cultural attributes
that characterize a large world region (such as Europe
or Monsoon Asia). Subsequent chapters then elaborate at
a more local level (i.e., subregions and countries)
about the finer-scale details, e.g. what geographical
factors have made Germany a very different place from
France. The advantages of this approach are that the
profile chapters allow an instructor a great amount of
latitude in how to cover a region.

InfoTrac) by Robert E. Gabler, James F. Petersen, L.
Michael Trepasso, Hardcover: 672 pages, Publisher:
Brooks Cole
This book uses the combined expertise of three respected
geographers to create the ultimate tool for illustrating
physical geography concepts and helping students bridge
the gap between scientific theory, practical
application, and the human-environmental interface. The

Science.
