WORLD GEOGRAPHY

As globalization continues to remodel the world, cultures that were once distinct now blend, creating opportunities for people to see the world from new viewpoints. These fresh perspectives, rooted in critical thinking, inspire them to meet new people, experience new places, grow as individuals, and contribute to society in ways previously unimagined. Studying world geography enables students to form these new perspectives in the classroom.

ABC-CLIO’s World Geography: Understanding a Changing World elevates students’ global literacy, exploring the geographic, social, political, environmental, economic, and cultural forces that increasingly shape our interconnected world. Students can learn about any country, discovering information on landforms and climate; environment; natural resources and agriculture; traditions and etiquette; people; national dress; art and landmarks; food and holidays; and government, politics, and economy; as well as the world’s history and contemporary challenges.
