The new edition of World Regional Geography (ISE) provides both a cultural and physical geographic understanding of the world's eight regions in an easily customizable format designed to fit different course structures while retaining a true global appreciation. The text's hallmark pedagogical feature, ‘Profile’ chapters, provide a brief, thematic overview of each of the eight regions. This pedagogical organization allows an instructor to cover the entire world in thirteen weeks, spending as little or as much time on each region as they need, or even creating a custom book to fit their course. Clearly outlined chapter objectives emphasize more thematic discussions in the sub-regional chaptersas well as highlighted textual discussions. The authors tie in relevant historical geography to provide students with a context for current events and geopolitical issues in the world. Students can quickly make cultural and regional comparisons through new and extensively revised thematic maps that are centered around topics like language, religion, and ethnicity. ‘Geography of…’ boxes feature various focal points of geography, delving into cultural specifics of each region and bringing consistent attention to issues of ethnicity, language, and religion. Some topics include, ‘Geography of Energy,’ ‘Ethnic Geography,’ ‘Medical Geography,’ ‘Geography of the Sacred,’ and ‘Geography of Terrorism.’over
