With an innovative integration of visuals, text, and spatial graphics, Introduction to Contemporary Geography presents a modular and highly graphical springboard to introductory geography–ideal for contemporary students and learning styles. This innovative new resource partners best-selling human geography author Jim Rubenstein with environmental and physical geographer Bill Renwick, economic/political/cultural geographer Carl Dahlman, and the information architects at Dorling Kindersley (DK). The authors’ approachable prose and DK’s bold visual style combine to engage students with little to no science background, encouraging them to become scientifically literate and responsible consumers, readers, and voters. Features + Benefits

The unique DK-style format provides unparalleled clarity while adding excitement to tried and true, first-rate geographic analysis. The book's brief format features carefully selected topics that provide a springboard to each individual professor's introduction to geography course.

Every page contains integrated visuals, text, and spatial graphics, using multiple dimensions and representations most appropriate for the concept at hand. Every key concept has been developed and written around key graphics, allowing the visuals to do much of the work.

The book's modular organization consists of chapters made up of self-contained two-page spreads, a reliable presentation that offers the instructor flexibility when assigning material to students.

Every chapter opens with Key Questions, which are then used as the framework for each two-page module within the chapter.

These Key Questions ask students to take a bigger picture approach to the concept, and they often apply to two or more modules. Students should be able to answer the Key Question presented in each module after working through it.

Each module also presents two unique Main Points that students should understand after reading the module. The Key Questions and Main Points are revisited in the end of chapter Review. This structured learning path guides students through a text that is both visually engaging and conceptually challenging.

The end-of-chapter Review includes:
a summary of Key Questions and the associated Main Points from all modules in the chapter

Thinking Geographically critical-thinking questions

MapMaster Interactive Mapping activities

Google Earth Explore image analysis questions
