Essentials of World Regional Geography

Building on the foundations set by the late Professor Jesse Wheeler, this text bridges two generations of world regional geography expertise based at the University of Missouri-Columbia. Eight profile chapters provide a comparative overview of the world's regions, while subsequent chapters provide a more focused look at specific countries.

Designed for use in introductory world regional geography courses, this text is ideal for freshman and sophomore levels. Salter et al. presents the fundamentals necessary for the study of world regional geography in the first two opening chapters. This text is perfectly suited for a one or two semester course.
