About the Author\nPaul L. Knox 
Paul Knox received his Ph.D. in Geography from the University of Sheffield, England. In 1985, after teaching in the United Kingdom for several years, he moved to the United States to take up a position as professor of urban affairs and planning at Virginia Tech. His teaching centres on urban and regional development, with an emphasis on comparative study. In 1989, he received a university award for teaching excellence. He has written several books on aspects of economic geography, social geography, and urbanization. He serves on the editorial board of several scientific journals and is co-editor on a series of books on World Cities. In 1996, he was appointed to the position of University Distinguished Professor at Virginia Tech, where he currently serves as dean of the College of Architecture and Urban Studies.\nSallie A. Marston 
Sallie Marston received her Ph.D. in Geography from the University of Colorado, Boulder. She has been a faculty member at the University of Arizona since 1986. Her teaching focuses on the historical, social, and cultural aspects of American urbanization, with particular emphasis on race, class, gender, and ethnicity issues. She received the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences Outstanding Teaching Award in 1989. She is the author of numerous journal articles and book chapters and serves on the editorial board of several scientific journals. In 1994 and 1995, she served as Interim Director of Women’s Studies and the Southwest Institute for Research on Women.

Michael Imort received his PhD from Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. Ever the geographer, he took the long way to get there, studying at Brock, York, Waterloo and Freiburg, Germany, with stints in the Arctic, Hawaii, Mali, and Zaire (now DRC), and a teaching appointment in an English castle—not to mention the days when he worked as a lumberjack or ran a bookstore. When the time came to get serious, he joined the Department of Geography and Environmental Studies at Wilfrid Laurier University, where he currently is the Associate Dean of Arts. Originally trained as a forest scientist with an interest in fire ecology, he soon became interested in the human side of environmental problems. Today his research interests include environmental thought and the many ways in which representations of landscape are used and abused for political purposes.\nAlan E. NashAlan Nash received his Ph.D. in Geography from the University of Cambridge in England, and began his teaching career at the University of Sheffield. After moving to Canada in 1981, he taught at Queen’s University, before becoming a research associate at the University of Western Ontario’s Centre for Canadian Population Studies. From 1986 to 1989, he was a research associate at the Institute for Research on Public Policy in Ottawa. Since then, he has been a member of the Geography Department at Concordia University in Montreal, where he has served as Chair. His teaching focuses on human geography; his recent research activities and academic publications deal with the cultural geography of restaurants. From 2002 to 2005, he was Secretary-Treasurer of the Canadian Association of Geographers.\nNote: If you are purchasing an electronic version, MasteringGeography does not come automatically packaged with it.

Human Geography: Places and Regions in Global Context, Fifth Canadian Media Update Edition, Loose Leaf Version (5th Edition)

Knox/Marston’s contemporary approach fosters awareness of current issues and developing trends from a geographic perspective. The authors give meaning to people and places by integrating compelling local, regional, and global viewpoints. By giving readers access to the latest ideas, concepts, and theories – with a strong foundation in the fundamentals – this book not only builds knowledge about places and regions, but fosters a deeper understanding of the interdependence of places and regions in a globalizing world. A global framework promotes a stronger connection between topical and regional material by emphasizing how their processes are linked (e.g., technological innovation and the varying ways technology is adopted and modified by people and places). The book's changing world perspective reflects many trends in the discipline such as the globalization of industry, the upwelling of ethnic regionalisms on the heels of decolonization and new state formation, and the trend toward transnational political and economic organizations. Geography Matters; The Changing Global Context; Geographies of Population; Nature and Society; Cultural Geographies; Interpreting Places and Landscapes; The Geography of Economic Development; Agriculture and Food Production; The Politics of Territory and Space; Urbanization; City Spaces: Urban Structure; Future Geographies. A useful reference for anyone who wants to learn more about human geography.
