Taking a thematic approach to cultural geography, this text explores cultural geography through the use of five themes - culture region, cultural diffusion, cultural ecology, cultural integration and cultural landscape. This framework allows students to relate the material to the world as a whole. The book allows students to absorb a wide range of global information in a single course. Its art programme has been revised to include over 200 new and revised maps and photographs.
