Samenvatting

DIGITAL UPDATE: The Pearson eText has been updated to provide new author-written content that actively emphasizes climate change and engages students with real-world case studies and activities.

For courses in Physical Geography. An essential introduction to physical geography, from atmosphere to biosphere.

The gold standard in the discipline, Geosystems: An Introduction to Physical Geography is a practical text explaining the essentials of physical geography. Organized into four sections by Earth systems topics as they naturally occur (atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, and biosphere), the text guides students through the principles of physical geography with real-world applications. Christopherson's approach is known for its meticulous attention to detail and up-to-date accuracy. Real-world case studies and activities engage students and help them apply geography to the real world.
