Book Description
A non-major introduction to human/cultural geography that focuses on culture, society, and human activity from a geographic perspective. The book is also designed for majors taking their first course in Human Geography. Fellmann provides a thorough, classic, up-to-date, and balanced approach to this broad range of topics. Among the most distinctive and important features of the text is its thorough and well-integrated coverage of gender roles in society and culture.Instructors and students using the sixth edition update will have access to PowerWeb, a course-specific website developed with the help of instructors teaching the course to provide instructors and students with curriculum-based materials, updated weekly assessments, informative and timely world news, refereed web links and much more.

 Not the greatest geography text...by far February 24, 2001
7 out of 8 found this review helpful
After using this book as the first year text at university, I discovered that this book is lacking in conceptual content in many sections and overall, is not very clear. I must say that the two stars are for the sections that were good. These included the section on nations and states, basic population geography and a couple more. All backed up with maps, of course.The maps are good, but there are too many related to insignificant examples, and several sections in the book where a more general map would have been helpful. I think that the authors have concentrated too much on production of many editions of the same work and have not thought about the content, or the readability of a text. Especially for a text which is so broad as to make it suitable only for a first year text book, if it's lucky. I have found The Dictionary of Human Geography (Johnston, et al., 1994) a much more valuable item on the book shelf. It is not as colourful but is by far more contextually solid. Fellman, Getis and Getis is in my opinion a severly lacking text and should only be read for two reasons. 1, to look at the pictures, and 2, if you live in an isolated region and can't get any other books.
