For introductory courses in Human or Cultural Geography found in Geography, Anthropology, or Social Science departments.
This Updated Second Edition provides professors and students with a Human Geography textbook that contains materials about recent world events triggered by the September 11th attacks on New York City and Washington D.C. The Updated Second Edition contains new materials that address the actual world events triggered by the attacks, and perhaps, more importantly, adds materials focused on providing professors with a tool to more effectively help their students understand the roots of these problems. Additionally, there is new material in the book to help professors teach their students something more about terrorism as a concept.
“In order to understand places, they must first be made meaningful to us.” Knox/Marston's exciting contemporary approach gives people and places meaning by covering compelling topics that integrate today's local, regional, and global perspectives. It provides not only a body of knowledge about places and regions, but also a deep understanding of the interdependence of places and regions in a globalizing world. Coverage throughout is intellectually empowering and capable of cultivating a life-long geographical imagination. The authors give students access to the latest ideas, concepts, and theories while concurrently developing a strong foundation in the fundamentals.

The Interim Edition
This interim edition of Places and Regions in Global Context was prompted by the consequences of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. on September 11, 2001. These attacks not only changed the everyday worlds of many ordinary Americans, but also changed their views of the wider world. In addition, the attacks set into motion many other important changes, both in the United States and elsewhere. Studying human geography can help students understand many of the issues and changes surrounding these events. In this interim edition, Paul L. Knox and Sallie A. Marston have added material not only on the direct antecedents and consequences of the terrorist attacks, but also on the broader, related issues of globalization, Western materialism, religious fundamentalism, cultural identity, and geopolitics.
