This volume offers an integrated, systems-based approach to physical geography. The text's inclusion of quantitative concepts aims to appeal to past users of "Modern Physical Geography", as well as to those professors currently using or seeking to incorporate a systems-driven approach. The book's focus on systems is achieved by weaving the theme through the text and by providing "Focus on Systems" boxes with specific systems concepts and applications, including supportive systems art. Environmental issues of global change are stressed in each chapter, highlighted by a colour bar at the side of the column. Simple concepts are included in "Working It Out" boxes for those professors who desire a more quantitative focus. These sections require high-school algebra, and they focus on applications rather than computation. End-of-chapter problems and end-of-book problems are also included. An art programme, in magazine style, includes numerous maps, colour drawings and photographs, illustrating concepts. A Web Site features active links per chapter, fully downloadable student companion, and interactive chapter quizzes.
