Description
For decades, Physical Geography: The Global Environment has been the classic introduction to the Earth and the way in which interaction with its human inhabitants has shaped the evolution of both. In this much-anticipated Canadian Edition, Professors Cathy Conrad and Peter Long have seamlesslyincorporated significant Canadian data and examples while maintaining Harm de Blij's international approach to the five major components of the Earth--atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, cryosphere, and biosphere. The result is a comprehensive and authoritative text that is truly global in scope.This leading physical geography text now includes a free CD-ROM that help students see physical processes in action, making concepts easier to understand. Supporting the learning experience inside and outside of the classroom, professors can supplement their lectures visually and students can usethe CD-ROM for self-study.
