Class Description
Geographic knowledge satisfies a deep human need to know about other people and places, the natural environment, the capacity of the earth to support human life, and to inform our own individual perception of places. This clas will revolve around a pattern of inquiry that begins with three essential questions: Where are things located, why they are in those particular places, and how do those particular places influence our lives. Besides the basic core of world and regional location studies, other areas for exploration include Physical, Urban, Political, Cultural, Historical, Economic Geography, Cartography, and problems in Local Geography. This course is open to all students who wish to investigate the world in which they live, in an inquisitive and scholarly manner.
