| World Regional Geography: The New Global Order Update, 2/e Michael Bradshaw,
College of St. Mark and John
What's New- The first chapter has been recast to focus on the processes of globalization and localization within the New Global Order and their impacts at four geographic scales - global, world regional, country, and local. This places a greater emphasis on the need for a World Regions course at the start of a new century.
- Revised openings to all regional chapters linking to revised Chapter 1.
- New age-sex diagrams and demographic transition diagrams throughout the book. The age-sex diagrams give three years (1980/90; 2002; 2025). The demographic transition updates birth/death rates from 1970-1992 to 1970-2000.
- Updates of events and data throughout to 1998/2000. In each chapter the population data is brought up-to-date with A.D. 2000 estimates, as it is in the Key Places Glossary and the Data Bank in the Reference Section.
- Update of the processes of globalization and localization and the different scales of geographic region - world region, country, and local region. Each section of the chapter (1) is tied into these.
- Basic Geographic Principles (Chapter 2) revised to take into account changing ideas, and reviewer comments.
