Pulsipher's World Regional Geography puts people into the world geographic landscape, showing students how individuals are affected by, and respond to, economic, social, and political forces at all levels of scale: global, regional, subregional, local. It offers a vivid and inclusive picture of people in a changing world not as seen from a Western perspective, but as they see themselves. The core topics of physical, economic, and political geography are examined from a contemporary perspective, based on insights from the most recent geographic theory.

Shows how individuals are affected by, and respond to, economic, social, and political forces at all levels of scale: global, regional and local. It offers an inclusive picture of people in a globalizing world - men, women, children, both mainstream and marginalized citizens - not as seen from a western perspective, but as they see themselves. Core topics of physical, economic, cultural, and political geography are examined from a contemporary perspective, based on authoritative insights from recent geographic theory and examples from countries from around the world.
The study guide retains the exercises that have made it a useful pedagogical tool over three editions. Mapping exercises help the students understand and explain geographic patterns by employing the skills geographers themselves routinely use.
