with human geography. It is the first encyclopedia devoted exclusively
to human geography and will be an indispensable guide for high school
students taking AP Human Geography, a useful supplement to college
texts, and a valuable guide for researchers. AP Human Geography is a

current manmade crises, such as urban sprawl. Suggested readings, a
selected bibliography, and photos complement the text.
