So much more than maps, rivers and physical features, while the vast and fascinating subject of geography does incorporate surface descriptions of Earth, it also studies human relationships and distributions.
Human populations, cultural identities, political organisations, agriculture, industrialisation and their overall development compose complex aspects to geographic studies of our planet. In this course, we will cover many of these aspects to provide a well-rounded introduction to the field of geography.
