Human Geography retains the organization and structure of its earlier versions. Like them, it seeks to introduce its users to the scope and excitement of geography and its relevance to their daily lives and roles as informed citizens. We recognize that for any students, human geography may be their first or only work in geography and this, their first or only textbook in the discipline. For these students particularly, we seek to convey the richness and breadth of human geography and to give insight into the nature and intellectual challenges of the field of geography itself.

Mark Bjelland is professor of geography at Calvin University Daniel Montello is professor of geography at the University of California at Santa Barbara Arthur Getis is Distinguished Professor of Geography Emeritus at San Diego State University
