Modern, Visual Focused Approach on the Essentials of Human Geography
Contemporary Human Geography is a smartly crafted, modular springboard into essential human and cultural geography concepts, designed for the modern geography student. This brief, innovative text explores contemporary human geography in the bold visual style that distinguishes Dorling Kindersley (DK) publications. Topics within each chapter are organized into modular, self-contained, two-page spreads. Together with the graphics, Rubenstein's efficient writing presents information clearly without sacrificing the high-quality geography content essential to students and instructors. The Third Edition offers a deeper level of integration with MasteringGeography, additional active learning opportunities, expanded critical contemporary topics, and features that encourage group work and in-class discussions.

Also Available with MasteringGeography(tm)
This title is also available with MasteringGeography -- an online homework, tutorial, and assessment program designed to work with Contemporary Human Geography to engage students and improve results. Interactive, self-paced coaching activities provide individualized coaching to keep students on track. With a wide range of visual and media-rich activities available, students can actively learn, understand, and retain even the most difficult concepts.
