Study of Arizona's Geography

This systematic study of the geography of Arizona emphasizes the relationship between the human population and the environment—the patterns of human activities and their effects on the landscape.

Dr. Comeaux introduces Arizona's physical features, then traces its history from the time of the early Indians.

A discussion of the state’s contemporary population and the rapid growth of its cities is followed by a geographic approach to a number of key topics: Arizona’s industries—manufacturing, mining, agriculture, lumber, ranching, and tourism—water and land use, and recreation.
