Book Reviews of Geography for Dummies
Book Review: Great resource
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are wanting a book to tell you WHERE things are, then buy an atlas or just use Google Earth. If you are wanting a text to explain WHY things are, then this may be your book.
I teach a Geography course at a Christian private school, and last year, selected this as our textbook. Unlike "normal" texts employed at most schools (both Christian and secular), which tend to be loaded with some sort of agenda - this one simply brings the facts forward in plain, understandable language. I have not regretted my choice. Not only does it cut through the useless crud, it also addresses almost every topic required for the TEKS (Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills) requirements. (I did a line-by-line comparison to justify my choice of text)
It is well organized into 4 main sections and a 5th which is filled with helpful lists. It clearly explains the six essential elements of Geography: 1) The world in spatial terms, 2) Places and regions, 3) Physical systems, 4) Human systems, 5) Environment and society, and 6) Uses of geography.
I have been very pleased with this book... it is even reasonably entertaining to read. I highly recommend it IF you want to learn about the science of Geography. If you just want to know where things are located... you should choose a more appropriate tool.
