Customer Reviews

Best Textbook I've Ever Used

When it comes to textbooks, they are normally boring and always overpriced! When I purchased "Realms, Regions and Concepts" for my college geography class, I was pleasantly surprised. This book is easy to read and the maps and illustrations are both relevant and interesting. I thorougly enjoyed using this textbook and would recommend it to anyone interested in learning more about the world's geo-political make-up. Even though my class is long over, I know that I will crack this book open again from time to time, just for reading pleasure. The accompanying internet study resources are also top-notch.

Study Guide

I liked the study guide. Wished for a little more but overall was satisfied with what I got. It was very late getting to me and I was unhappy about that but... overall satisfied with the product.

Where in the World Am I?

Geography: Realms, Regions and Concepts is an excellent text which provides the student with all information relevant to understanding geography on a whole; its regions and landforms, climate, politics and people. There is adequate information for every area of the world, and I am very pleased my instructor required this text. I would highly recommend this book or any other editions of the author, de Blij, to teachers and students alike!

Looked Brand New

It was great to buy a book so cheap and look brand new. Instead of going to the bookstore to buy a 113 dollar book.

A marvelous world regional text

This text makes teaching world regional geography a breeze, not only because of the well structured and knowledgeable approach to the material, but also because of the vast array of additional materials instructors can receive from the publisher. I used this text every year I taught the course and found it surprisingly modular. Each chapter allows the instructor to introduce a new geographic concept area (e.g. medical geography when discussing the African Continent). I can't imagine teaching World Regional Geography with any other text. Moreover, the writing is so good I can easily see people buying it just to have around the house when the news is on. Well worth the price.
