<책소개> H.J. de Blij의 Human Geography중 Key Question들

추석 연휴를 맞아 책을 하나 소개하고자 합니다.

책 제목은 흔하디 흔한 Human Geography 입니다.
저자도 눈에 익은 분이 한분 계시지요. H.J. de Blij

출판사는 Pearson과 더불어 가장 질 좋은 교재를 만드는 WILEY입니다.
이번 책은 10번째 개정판으로 2012년 출간되었습니다.
2012년에 10쇄였으니, 인문지리 책에서는 스테디셀러 반열에 오른 것이 아닌가 생각이 듭니다.

 

책 구성은 대략 이렇습니다.

1 Introduction to Human Geography 1
2 Population 36
3 Migration 78
4 Local Culture, Popular Culture, and Cultural Landscapes 112
5 Identity: Race, Ethnicity, Gender and Sexuality 144
6 Language 172
7 Religion 203
8 Political Geography 249
9 Urban Geography 288
10 Development 335
11 Agriculture 365
12 Industry and Services 403
13 The Humanized Environment 434
14 Globalization and the Geography of Networks

 

대단원별 구성은 이런 식으로 되어 있습니다.

 

 

차례를 훑어보다 제 눈에 들어 온 것이 있었습니다.

그것은 Key Question이였습니다.

 

지리교사로서 한 가지 고백을 해본다면

자연지리 보다는 솔직히 인문지리에 대한 고민이 있었습니다.
(물론 자연지리를 잘한다거나, 고민이 없다는 뜻은 전혀 아닙니다 -.-;;)

뭐라 딱 꼬집어 말할 순 없지만

'똥누고 밑안 닦은 듯한 그런 찝찝한 기분'

한국지리 교과서를 학생들과 진도를 나가다

인문지리 단원에 접어 들면

'지리교사로서 이번 단원에선 학생들에게 어떤 생각꺼리를 안겨줘야 할까?'

'이번 단원을 통해 인생을 살아가는 데 어떤 밑거름이 되게 해줘야 할까?'

라고 고민해보지만, 그게 해결이 잘 안되더라구요.

 

그러다 아래 나온 Key Question들이 저를 조금 더 생각하게 만들었습니다.

다른 선생님들에게도 혹시 도움이 될지 몰라
