This text challenges conventional perceptions of our rapidly changing world, arguing that place, geography, and people matter. The book introduces students to important contemporary issues in human geography, and includes distinctive New Zealand perspectives. It shows how different places are connected by social, cultural, economic, environmental, and political factors, and explains how increasing globalization impacts on daily lives. Support materials are provided in an accompanying CD-ROM that expands upon the issues and themes developed in the book. Generously illustrated with figures, maps, and photographs, the book also includes an extensive glossary of terms. Lively and innovative in its approach, this book is an essential text for students and teachers of human geography.
