2014
Moseley, William G.
"The myriad ways in which humans interact with their surroundings in the natural world have consequences that are both positive and negative. An Introduction to Human-Environment Geography offers an engaging and unique view of the spatial relationships between humans and their environment across geographical locations around the world. This introductory-level text presents the rich tapestry of theoretical approaches to the tradition, and demonstrates how these may be productively applied to understand human-environment interactions. Introducing many of the fundamental concepts and major theoretical traditions within human-environment geography, the book explores various thematic issues within the field, such as population, food and agriculture, and water resources. It carefully balances exposure to the theoretical underpinnings of human-environment geography with the inclusion of a variety of real-world policy questions and illustrative field notes contributed by prominent nature society geographers. An engaging and student-friendly introduction, it offers rich and rewarding insights into a tradition of growing importance in the twenty-first-century world." -- Publisher's description
