The geography and the people of the world are constantly changing. In this global era, a geographic perspective is more important than ever. Understanding the world of the past and the present requires a basic understanding of the physical components of the Earth.

 

The exercises in this workbook explain the relationships between human activity and the physical and topographic regions of the Earth. The workbook is designed to explain the correlations between historical events and geography through assignments that involve both reading and interpreting maps. Any systematic approach to the history of western civilization demands a global, historical and geographic perspective. With that in mind, the twenty-five exercises in this workbook provide an essential context of western civilization.

 

  • Making the Map: calls for the location of major bodies of water (oceans, sease, lakes, riber systems), mountain chains, historical and political boundaries and cities.
  • Reading the Map: designed to develop awareness of the relationships of various geographical and human-made features to political, cultural and economic factors.
  • Understand the Map: correlateds features from the map to the narrative of the test. This three-step process involves the student in a critical and analytic process which combines and refines several skills.
