Review:

"Human Geography is the perfect textbook for my students. Short's jargon-free and simple writing style appeals to students who are likely in their first geography course. This is a remarkably comprehensive textbook that numbers just a few hundred pages. In addition, its pedagogical structure is the best that I have seen in a human geography textbook."--Nathan J. Probasco, Briar Cliff University

"The writing style is engaging and lively. I would definitely use this book and really appreciate the updated and new materials. The color maps and images are a very welcome addition."--Richard Grant, University of Miami

"The new organizational structure covers all the bases I look for in a human geography text. In addition, while the new chapters in this second edition cover traditional topics, they still 'cut to the chase' and deliver high-quality material without bludgeoning students with needlessly long reading assignments."--Randy Bertolas, Wayne State College
