N2  - "Drawing on nearly three decades of instructional experience and a wealth of testing pedagogical innovations with students, Professor Mark Boyle has updated and expanded this succinct yet comprehensive introduction to Human Geography. As with the First Edition, Boyle follows the premise that "history makes geography," and that the key to studying the principal demographic, social, political, economic, cultural and environmental processes of any region in the world today is to look at how the region affected and still affects the rise, reign, and decline of the West. The book covers key concepts, seminal thinkers, and influential texts in the field. Using a historical geographical framework and attentive to post-colonial concerns reverberating within the discipline, it examines inter-alia the history of human geography, environmental history, and key concerns in economic geography, political geography, social and cultural geography, population geography, development geography, Urban Geography, Society and Nature relations, the geography of migration, Hazards Research, although designed for the beginner student, Boyle does not shy away from ideas and debates often avoided in introductory courses, clearly communicating even sophisticated theory without condescension. In addition, Boyle strives to place Human Geography in its larger academic context, discussing the influence of the field on related areas such as Sociology, Anthropology, Political Science, International Relations, Economics, Regional Studies, Archaeology, Cultural Studies, Environmental Science, and others."--
