Cultural Geography

Cultural geography is the study of the many cultural aspects found throughout the world and how they relate to the spaces and places where they originate and then travel as people continually move across various areas.

Some of the main cultural phenomena studied in cultural geography include language, religion, different economic and governmental structures, art, music, and other cultural aspects that explain how and/or why people function as they do in the areas in which they live.

Globalization is also becoming increasingly important to this field as it is allowing these specific aspects of culture to easily travel across the globe.

This comprehensive and innovative book marks a significant departure from tradition anlayses of the evolution of cultural landscapes and the interpretation of past environments.
