LEARN GEOGRAPHY BY DOING GEOGRAPHY.
The Sixth Edition of Human Geography in Action offers a hands-on approach that challenges students to collect, manipulate, display, and interpret geographic information with updated case studies that incorporate current data.
Comprised of fourteen stimulating, concept-based chapters, this text aims to develop geographic perspectives and problem-solving skills that will prove valuable to students throughout their lives. Each chapter begins with an introduction to a concept, followed by a case study connecting the concept to the real world, and ending with a follow-up activity. The engaging activities featured throughout the text further this book's Do Geography approach. Human Geography in Action provides students the opportunity to try their hand at real-world scenarios, including using GIS to investigate ethnic distributions and culture regions, tracking the AIDS epidemic over space and time, modeling interstate migration flows, simulating India's demographic future, adding new baseball franchises, and much more.

Cover photo: This image of the city of Kalimpong, in the Indian state of Darjeeling, shows the density and eclectic building styles characteristic of many cities in the developing world. A contemporary tourist economy benefits from the long-established mixing of many cultures, a rich regional biodiversity, and a strategic site that links India, Nepal, Tibet, China, Bhutan, and Bangladesh.
Back photo: With over a billion people in India, cities such as Delhi teem with activity. Rapid growth in the twentieth century and attempts to retrofit old cities with new technologies and new forms of transportation often create a chaotic appearance that can leave visitors overwhelmed by the visual stimuli and density of people.
