2. 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.

Edition by H. J. de Blij, Peter O. Muller, Hardcover,

4. North America: A Geography of the United States
and Canada (Hardcover) by J. H. Paterson, J.H. Paterson,
Hardcover, Publisher: Oxford University Press
Paterson's geography of the United States and Canada has
held its reputation as one of the best texts in regional
geography through eight editions. It is noted for its
breadth of view, analytic approach and readability. The
new edition will retain the basic structure of the
previous one, but more emphasis will be placed on urban
development and environmental problems--without ignoring
the importance of the more sparsely populated areas.
Paterson examines the glaciation, climate, and soils of
North America, before profiling its people and cities.
He looks at governmental use of land and water
resources, as well as agriculture and industry. After
analyzing transportation methods, Paterson concentrates
on specific regions: New England, the Canadian
heartland, and Appalachia. He devotes further chapters
to California, Hawaii, and the Spanish and Indian
Southwest. Paterson studies every region of the
continent in detail. A work of great breadth and
scholarship, Paterson's book will benefit all
undergraduate students of geography.
