<책소개> 지리 입문 베스트 셀러중 하나인 Intoduction to Geogrpahy (14판)

Intoduction to Geography란 책은 지리 입문서로 꽤 유명한 책인가 봅니다.
무려 14판까지 연속 출판된 것을 보니 말이죠.

 

이 책을 소개하는 이유는 책의 구성때문에 그렇습니다.

 

지리 전문서적들은 일관된 주제를 갖고 기술하는 책들이 많은 데 (계통지리)
이 책은 말 그대로 입문서 이기 때문에 지리에서 언급하는 대부분의 주제를 다루고 있습니다.

 

대한민국에서 만드는 교과서와 구성이 어떻게 다른지
챕터에 따른 서브 주제는 어떻게 구성이 되는지 비교하시면서 보시면 좋을 듯 합니다.

 

저자는 아래 세분 이십니다.

Arthur Getis (San Diego State University)
Mark D. Bjelland (Calvin College)
Victoria Getis (Northwestern University)
