This thirteenth edition of Human Geography retains the organization and structure of its earlier versions. Like them, it seeks to introduce its users to the scope and excitement of geography and its relevance to their daily lives and roles as informed citizens. We recognize that for any students, human geography may be their first or only work in geography and this, their first or only textbook in the discipline. For these students particularly, we seek to convey the richness and breadth of human geography and to give insight into the nature and intellectual challenges of the field of geography itself.
In addition to the specific content changes, to ensure content is up to date and current, almost 90 images have been updated and replaced with newer images. The Section headings are now identified with a section number, that correlates to the Key Concepts highlighted on the chapter opener which will tie to the SmartBook and LearnSmart probes. The new edition will also feature a light design refresh with a updated chapter opener, feature box layout, and a refresh of the color palette for accessibility compliancy.

The boxed inserts that are part of each chapter expand on ideas included within the text or introduce related examples of chapter concepts and conclusions, often in gender-related contexts.

These boxes introduce a discussion of a topic of current national or international interest and conclude with a set of questions designed to induce thought and class discussion of the topic using human geographic insights students have mastered.
