Introduction to Geography: People, Places, & Environment, Sixth Edition introduces students to the major tools, techniques, and methodological approaches of the discipline through new applied and visual features that engage students and reinforce real-world connections. The authors emphasize the integration of various aspects of geographic processes and systems by discussing what happens in one set of geographic processes and how that affects others. For example, what happens in economic systems affects environmental conditions; what happens to climate affects political dynamics.

GIS have become essential and ubiquitous on geographers’ desks, and their importance is clear in this book. Discussion of GIS and other geospatial technology is included in Chapter 1, and the use of GIS in geographic problem-solving is illustrated throughout.
