Features: This book is a public core course textbook for geography majors in higher education institutions across the country. Unlike previous textbooks that discuss human geography elements in a linear manner, this book takes a holistic approach to human geography, grounded in cultural studies, to elaborate on the spatiotemporal characteristics of various human phenomena and their branch disciplines. Theoretically, it emphasizes the relationship between humans and the environment, while practically, it focuses on significant real-world issues. The book introduces the development, trends, and relevant theories of the discipline; explains the evolution of the human-environment system from its primitive state to modern sociocultural and civilized development; analyzes in detail the characteristics of major human geography elements (such as religion, language, ethnicity, etc.); and discusses the current and future major issues of the discipline.
