I dreaded the idea of taking geography last semester, but this book made it a lot deeper than maps and mountains and borders. It discusses relevant topics about each country, is very interesting, and easy to understand. I loved it. I'm making my sister take this class next year in hopes that it will benefit her as much as it did me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy-to-Digest Textbook
Verified PurchaseExcellent geography textbook. I have used this edition (and the previous edition) for two World Geography classes. The text provides a good overview of concepts related to world geography and divides the world into "Realms". It uses a consistent format of two-part chapters for the majority of the book - the first, an overview of the realm, the second describes regions of that realm. Detailed maps are provided at the beginning of each chapter and within the chapters themselves. This consistency of layout, and an almost conversational writing style provide an easy to read and understand textbook that is suitable for beginning geography students. The Appendix B provides a wealth of demographic data that can be used to easily understand the differences between realms, countries within a realm and between all countries.
Notes about the Kindle version: The book does not fill the whole screen of the Kindle Fire HD, but is a scaled reproduction of the print book (other than some pages that show maps). If reading in the portrait mode, the maps and Appendix B (which in the print book are landscape) will change size and turn (from landscape) to be easily read in the portrait mode. If you can afford it, I encourage you to purchase the physical book, as it is richer, more immersive experience, especially with the maps and appendices.

4.0 out of 5 stars I liked the contents, but I didn't like very much the presentation.
Verified PurchaseIt is really entertaining the way it is written ---as a first person story from a guy who has been travelling around the world, commenting the pictures that he took himself.
But I found the overall presentation of the book kinda disappointing. The printing is not the best (some photos have a bit of a "ghost" effect), the covers don't accurately match in width with the pages inside (they are smaller), also one of the pages is wider than the rest and sticks out (I had to cut it), and I was honestly hoping that the covers would be a little bit harder.

5.0 out of 5 stars A geographer's must-have
Verified PurchaseIt won't be pathetic at all to say that the book will take you on a journey across the globe and will bring to you all the essential as well as fascinating details necessary to better know the complex world we live in.

Verified PurchaseRented this from Amazon for school. WOW what a great idea! saved me a ton of money and time. Only tricky thing, is finding an envelope big enough to mai it back. But worth it, as shipping is free
