Visualizing Human Geography provides a fresh, new pathway for building geographic literacy and introducing readers to the richness of geography, including its many different approaches, perspectives, techniques, and tools. Geographic literacy, made all the more fundamental as a result of ongoing globalization, is a key workplace competency relevant to solving problems of local, national, and global significance.
