I purchased this book to use in my Geography class in college. Most students bought the $145 new edition, but the teacher gave someone permission to use this one and I decided to do the same. It's basically the same- same maps, same terms, same chapters, with updated figures on population I would assume being the main difference. I'll just keep the other $130 thanks. :)
i bought the book just because it was mandatory for school but i ended up loving it. this is a great book for any one interested in world events, and most importantly why and how things develop. eventhough there is a new edition available, this edition is for the most part still current, and it makes it a more economic alternative. definetely recommend the book to any geography major or any one just interested in it.
This book has saved my life, I thought going into geography it was going to be a total breeze. "Name this country, name that country, how hard could it be?" I thought. Well it turned out to be a pretty demanding course which I guess is okay considering the entire world and all its environmental and cultural wonders are taken into account.
I ordered this book in august and weeks went by and never got it. So I filed a claim with half.com and was told not to email anymore because it would just slow the process. Never heard anything again, So I tried about a month later to do something again and it just says its too late to bring anything up about it. I couldn't find a number or anywhere to contact anybody about it, but its a pretty crappy deal. I paid for the book and never got it and never heard about it again.
Needed it for school. Working out just fine. Will try to resell on ebay after I am finished with it. Standard book requirement fot the class that I am taking.
