About this title

Synopsis

Get students motivated, engaged, and actively involved with Kuby, Harner, and Gober\'s new Third Edition of Human Geography in Action. The text offers an innovative, active-learning approach that allows students to experience the field of human geography first hand. Each of the text\'s 14 chapters launches the student and instructor into a flexible multi-part activity that requires students to do geography as a social science. Interactive software on the accompanying CD (newly redeveloped for the Third Edition) enables students to work with GIS maps, spreadsheets, simulations, and animated graphs, without requiring them to learn different software packages.

From the Publisher

Computerized activities expose readers to GIS, spreadsheets, simulation and graphing--without having to learn four different complex software packages. The exercises explore AIDS, population growth, jobs, environmental change, baseball and other interesting topics. This book teaches readers how to collect, analyze, interpret and present information.
