- Addresses important thinkers, debates, and theories in an accessible manner with a focus on discerning the inherent Western bias in these ideas

- Incorporates case studies that explore human geographies which are being made in non western regions, including Asia, the Middle East, and South America

- Offers an array of student resources, including learning objectives, checklists of key ideas, further exploration boxes, glossaries, end-of-chapter essay questions, and suggestions for further reading

- Accompanied by a website at www.wiley.com/go/boyle (available on publication) featuring additional quizzes, questions, resources, and podcasts for students, alongside chapter-by-chapter PowerPoint slides for instructors

- Explores the significance of the ascendance (and degeneration?) of the West since around the fifteenth century in the shaping of the key demographic, environmental, social, economic, political, and cultural processes active in the world today
