Coupled with MindTap's interactive study tools and ArcGIS-powered mapping activities, Hobbs/Dolan's "World Regional Geography," 8th Edition, introduces students to the 10 world regions using the physical, historical, cultural, economic and political context that makes each unique to our interconnected world. Maps and photos expand coverage of Asia with three new chapters. Regional chapters have new discussions of the different types of governance and their influence on freedoms, economic policies and international relations, as well as discussions of environmental issues, the effects of climate change on world regions and coverage of conflicts in Ukraine and Gaza. Box features detail the global spread of COVID-19, the natural cycle of climate shifts in the Sahara and the rise of English as the world’s lingua franca. The texts makes it easy to understand geography-related concepts.
