"A geography of the World's Major Regions" presents a global view of today's most pressing issues through an analysis of the twelve major regions of the world. Population pressure, environmental degradation, natural catastrophe and human conflict all impact in different ways to different degrees on the society and environment of these regions. Within each region, this book describes economic and political restructuring, the production and consumption of natural resources, agriculture, industry and services, the role of the military, and the impact of global economic change. This book will prove an invaluable introduction to the changing geography of the world; it will also provide a useful overview of specific regions, comparative analysis of regions, and the economic and political geography of both the post-industrial and the Developing Worlds.
