Summary

This authoritative text portrays the cultural geography of the world today. Organized according to a unique thematic framework, it encourages students to consider a wide range of topics and view them from five different perspectives. Thematic Approach The five themes of The Human Mosaic--culture region, cultural diffusion, cultural ecology, cultural interaction, and cultural landscape--are introduced and explained in the first chapter and serve as the framework for the topical chapters that follow. Each theme is applied to a variety of geographical topics: demography, agriculture, the city, religion, language, ethnicity, politics, industry, folk and popular culture. Through this thematic organization, students are able to relate to the most important aspects of cultural geography at every point in the text.
