Reviews
From previous editions: "This is my favourite introductory human geography textbook... This text provides a solid foundation for intro human geography. It introduces the key vocabulary in an accessible way and draws in a variety of current research in a way that makes geography both interesting and approachable." -Patricia Fitzpatrick, University of Winnipeg "Most other texts are American-focused or Canadian adaptations of American texts. Of the global texts, Norton and Mercier is the best at providing a comprehensive treatement of human geography." -Brent Doberstein, Univeristy of Waterloo
