The Cultural Landscape: An Introduction to Human Geography 11th Edition by James M. Rubenstein emphasizes the relevance of geographic concepts to human problems. The relationship between globalization and cultural diversity is woven throughout; Rubenstein addresses these themes with a clear organization and presentation that engages students and appeals to instructors.
The Eleventh Edition focuses on issues of access and inequality to discuss negative trends (such as the economic downturn, depleting resources, and human-caused climate change) as well as positive steps taken (sustainability, technology, regime change, women’s rights, and more). An updated design is optimized for eBooks and more effective student learning. The cartography and photos are fully updated.
Exceptionally clear organization of the material within each chapter makes the text extremely easy to use when planning lessons or studying. Every chapter features the following pedagogical and organizational features. Key Issues feature the 3-5 points around which chapter material is organized. Questions reappear as major headings within the chapter referencing these key issues.
Chapter-opening Case Study illustrates key concepts generally drawn from news events or daily experiences familiar to students. A Contemporary Geographic Tools section in each chapter examines how tools, such as geographic information systems, aerial photography, and remotely sensed images, help to resolve or understand issues discussed in the chapter.
A Global Forces, Local Impacts section in each chapter explores in depth an issue related to the subject of the chapter, while focusing on a particular region of the world. Case Study Revisited reinforces the chapter's main points with additional information related to that chapter-opening case study. Summaries reinforce key issues of each chapter with a brief review of important concepts.
Key Terms are defined at the end of each chapter. A Thinking Geographically section in each chapter offers questions based on the chapter's key points, helping students apply concepts to explore issues more intensively. This best-selling text introduces geography as a social science by emphasizing the relevance of geographic concepts to human problems. Another main focus of the book is the relationship between globalization and cultural diversity, which is woven throughout the narrative. Rubenstein addresses these themes with a clear organization and presentation that engages students and appeals to instructors.
