For introductory courses in Physical Geography.

Offering a briefer treatment of the elements of physical geography without sacrificing scientific content, Elemental Geosystems features a distinctive integration of human-Earth relationships, an applied flavor, and scientific correctness. It is written, organized, and illustrated to give students an accessible, systematic, and visually appealing start in physical geography.
