Rezension zu „The Europeans, Second Edition “
"This accessible text provides insights into historical and current issues in Europe, integrating concepts from physical, urban, political, and cultural geography. Students gain a comprehensive understanding of European geography and get useful suggestions for further reading. The new vignettes in the second edition illustrate concepts introduced in each chapter." - Micheline van Riemsdijk, Department of Geography, University of Tennessee, USA "This volume is an excellent general text for undergraduate students of geography and all others interested in a thorough introduction to this most important region. It is very well written, tightly edited and nicely structured so that it holds the reader's attention...This book's structure is refreshing and engaging...Virtually every important point made in the text is supplemented by a map, table, or photograph. The maps are especially clear, well chosen, and useful." - Regional Studies
