English
Get students motivated, engaged, and actively involved with Kuby, Harner, and Gober\'s new Third Edition of Human Geography in Action. The text offers an innovative, active-learning approach that allows students to experience the field of human geography first hand. Each of the text\'s 14 chapters launches the student and instructor into a flexible multi-part activity that requires students to do geography as a social science. Interactive software on the accompanying CD (newly redeveloped for the Third Edition) enables students to work with GIS maps, spreadsheets, simulations, and animated graphs, without requiring them to learn different software packages.
