About the Book

NOTE: This edition features the same content as the traditional text in a convenient, three-hole-punched, loose-leaf version. Books a la Carte also offer a great value; this format costs significantly less than a new textbook. Before purchasing, check with your instructor or review your course syllabus to ensure that you select the correct ISBN. Several versions of MyLab(TM) and Mastering(TM) platforms exist for each title, including customized versions for individual schools, and registrations are not transferable. In addition, you may need a Course ID, provided by your instructor, to register for and use MyLab and Mastering products.


For introductory courses in world regional and regional geography.

Diversity Amid Globalization uses interactive learning tools to take readers on a journey through the diverse regions of the world. The 7th Edition supports the most comprehensive world regional program, helping individuals explore the various sights, sounds, and tastes of different parts of the world. With deeper mobile integration, web maps, video tours, and geoscience animations enhance readers' virtual, active learning experience. Links and online supplements provide insight into world regional geography, including explorations of space, language, music, and cooking traditions. Focusing on globalization, the text's arresting visual layout and updated content combine to give readers an accurate portrayal of the world's evolving regional landscapes.
