Product Description
Recommended for courses in world regional geography, human geography, introduction to geography, and physical geography. GeoTutor builds on the strengths of the text, "Building Geographic Literacy" by Charles A. Stansfield, Jr., and augments these strengths by using digital media to make the approach truly interactive. Further, GeoTutor emphasizes geographic concepts that students can use to increase their understanding of topics not specifically covered in the tutorials. The CD is augmented by a dedicated web site that provides constant updates to the materials on the CD.

 Pleased Used Book Purchase September 29, 2008
This book was in really good shape for the price paid, it shipped quickly and came in 5 shipping days.
Essential reading for the changing times. February 9, 2008
I took this course not knowing what I was getting into. I needed one more class to certify my financial aid. I had been wondering about globalization and other issues affecting the new world economy. If you want to know what the future holds for you and how you can make your millions, this is a great read. I don't know why the other reviewer is complaining about the difficulty. I am certain that you are being taught what you need to know. Read a bit slower, think some more, and have some discussions with your classmates and your professor.
 geography book November 21, 2007
This book is so broad and not easy to understand unless you are a geography major or a graduate geography students. Not only me, but other classmates aren't enjoying the book. If you can get another geography book that uses simpler terms.

An excellent textbook for an introductory geography class September 3, 2003
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
This is an excellent textbook for an introductory geography class. The first chapter is a general introduction with an explanation of some of the terms and vocabulary used. The second chapter covers world physical geography. The rest of the chapters each covers a different region of the world. Each chapter is divided into five sections: environment, population and settlement, culture, geopolitics, and economic and social development. This book describes the details of the different regions of the world and gives us a good idea of what life is like in these different regions. And, it ties what we learn about the different regions to the overall theme of diversity and globalization. The accompanying maps and photographs are beautiful.
