Human Geography For Dummies

Discover why people go where they go

Human geography is the study of how people move around--within communities, across cultures, and around the world. If you're taking a human geography class or looking for a better understanding of our world, Human Geography For Dummies has got you covered. This plain-English guide tracks concepts covered in an introductory course, such as migration patterns, agriculture, political borders, and environmental issues. Clearer than a textbook and more interesting than an online article, this is the human geography resource you need.
