Synopsis

MEET THE MOST IMPORTANT FRIEND YOU’LL EVER HAVE!

Think of your family, your closest friend, a beloved pet. It’s only natural you’d want to know everything you can about them.  But we scarcely ever think how much we don’t know about the one friend we could never live without — the Earth, the only home we’ll have throughout our entire lives. We study geography because we want to learn about anything that has to do with Earth or anything that lives on Earth. This delightful, comprehensive book will teach you, step-by-step:

• To understand basic physical systems that affect our everyday life.
• To learn the location, physical, and cultural characteristics of places in order to function more effectively in our interdependent world.
• To understand how geography has always played – and always will play – important roles in the evolution of people, ideas, places, and environments.
• To develop a mental map of your community and the world so you can understand the “where” of places and events.
• To explain how human and physical systems have arranged and changed the surface of the Earth.
• To understand the relationship between the physical environment and society.
• To provide insight for wise management decisions about how the planet’s resources should be used.
• To understand global interdependence and to become a better global citizen.

Learning geography helps us develop an understanding of the interdependence of our world and how we are connected through location, place, movement, region, history, and culture.  This understanding helps build awareness for cultural diversity — how and why people live the way they do.
