World Regions in Global Context: Peoples, Places, and Environments

For courses in world regional geography. Conceptual Exploration of World Regions and the Myriad Issues Critical to Geography Today
World Regions in Global Context presents a strong global sensibility and an emphasis on current events, with examples of interdependent development, spatial and social inequality, and questions of spatial justice. The authors maintain that regions are the outcomes of the twin forces of globalization and regionalization. Therefore, each regional chapter stresses the global systems of connection that drive unique regional processes, making regions different. By studying regions, students not only learn the critical elements of different places, but also come to understand the fundamental processes that drive change.
The Sixth Edition is a briefer, more visual text that still maintains its conceptual rigor by addressing today’s critical geographic themes, incorporating deeper focus on sustainability issues, new human stories from the regions, cutting-edge data visualizations and infographics, including a completely modernized cartography program, and much more.

"I have always been challenged by Paul Robbins' teaching. He speaks with a soft voice but with rich wisdom born of his heritage. In this book, he brings a fresh perspective to the age-old existential questions we all ask and arrives at undeniable, practical truth." Ruth Graham, Author of best-selling In Every Pew Sits a Broken Heart "The Milkman Story is a trove of treasures. Through Paul's amazing life-story and the impact of one authentic Shepherd, it offers simple, ordinary life moments in which we can reflect and discover the profound Kingdom of God transforming the ordinary-not through man's wisdom or skills or strength, but through God's love. This is a riveting journey for the heart, mind, and soul." Weyman Howard, Author, international speaker &amp; founder of LoveWorks Paul was born in Brooklyn, New York to Jewish parents, each of whose family migrated from Eastern Europe. As a child of the turbulent 60's, he set out on an adventure in search of significance and authenticity. He is now the Associate Director of Construction Teams Ministry for ANM, as well as the Director of "Comfort My People," an ANM ministry to the Jewish people in Israel and beyond. He is married to Marla. They have four children and seven grandchildren. They reside in Virginia. See more about Paul's story at TheMilkmanStory.com.

An accessible, focused exploration of the field of political ecology The third edition of Political Ecology spans this sprawling field, using grounded examples and careful readings of current literature. While the study of political ecology is sometimes difficult to fathom, owing to its breadth and diversity, this resource simplifies the discussion by reducing the field down into a few core questions and arguments. These points clearly demonstrate how critical theory can make pragmatic contributions to the fields of conservation, development, and environmental management. The latest edition of this seminal work is also more closely focused, with references to recent work from around the world. Further, Political Ecology raises critical questions about “traditional” approaches to environmental questions and problems. This new edition: <ul>
<li>Includes international work in the field coming out of Europe, Latin America, and Asia</li> <li>Explains political ecology and its tendency to disrupt the environmental research and practice by both advancing and undermining associated fields of study</li> <li>Contains contributions from a wide range of diverse backgrounds and expertise</li> <li>Offers a resource that is written in highly-accessible, straightforward language</li> <li>Outlines the frontiers of the field and frames climate change and the end of population growth with the framework of political ecology</li> </ul>
An excellent resource for undergraduates and academics, the third edition of Political Ecology offers an updated edition of the guide to this diverse, quickly growing field that is at the heart of how humans shape the world and, in turn, are shaped by it.

Part II examines a series of objects, each viewed through&nbsp;a sample of&nbsp;the&nbsp;theoretical&nbsp;tools&nbsp;from Part I, helping readers think critically about&nbsp;critical environmental&nbsp;topics such as deforestation,&nbsp;climate change, the global water supply,&nbsp;and&nbsp;hazardous&nbsp;e-waste.&nbsp;This&nbsp;fully revised third edition stresses a wider range of competing ways of thinking about environmental issues&nbsp;and features additional&nbsp;cases studies, up-to-date&nbsp;conceptual understandings, and&nbsp;new chapters in Part&nbsp;I&nbsp;on&nbsp;racializd&nbsp;environments&nbsp;and feminist approaches.&nbsp;Environment and Society: A Critical Introduction, Third Edition:&nbsp; <ul> <li>Covers&nbsp;theoretical lenses&nbsp;such as&nbsp;commodities, environmental ethics,&nbsp;and&nbsp;risks and hazards,&nbsp;and applies them to&nbsp;touchstone environment-society&nbsp;objects like&nbsp;wolves, tuna,&nbsp;trees, and carbon dioxide&nbsp;&nbsp;</li> <li>Uses&nbsp;a&nbsp;conversational narrative to explain&nbsp;key historical&nbsp;events,&nbsp;topical issues and policies,&nbsp;and&nbsp;scientific concepts&nbsp;</li> <li>Features&nbsp;substantial revisions and updates, including new chapters on feminism&nbsp;and race,&nbsp;and&nbsp;improved maps and illustrations&nbsp;</li> <li>Includes a wealth of in-book and online resources, including exercises&nbsp;and&nbsp;boxed discussions,&nbsp;chapter summaries, review questions, references, suggested readings,&nbsp;an online test bank, and internet links&nbsp;</li> <li>Provides&nbsp;additional&nbsp;instructor&nbsp;support such as&nbsp;suggested teaching models,&nbsp;full-color&nbsp;PowerPoint slides, and supplementary teaching material&nbsp;</li> </ul> Retaining the&nbsp;innovative approach&nbsp;of its predecessors,&nbsp;Environment and Society: A Critical Introduction, Third Edition&nbsp;remains the ideal textbook for courses in&nbsp;environmental issues, environmental science,&nbsp;and&nbsp;nature&nbsp;and&nbsp;society theory.&nbsp;
