Review
"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 a comprehensive treatment of human geography."
--Brent Doberstein, University of Waterloo
