| Summary, etc | "In many cultures circular shapes symbolize perfection, strength, and holism, ideas reflected in these cover images. In the desert of Jordan, center-pivor irrigation measures, out scarce groundwater to agricultural fields whose verdant green contrasts sharply with the dry valley's sandy soils. Near the Boltic Sea outside of Copenhagen, Denmark, weekend homes on pie-shaped lots surround communal packing lots that connect residents to their weekday lives in the city. Both places employ design and technology to make the most effective use of limited resources. In Jordan, water is in short supply and must be used efficiently; in Denmark, land is at a premium and space for people and housing must be allocated sparingly so resources of open space can be accessed by all." "Promoting economic development and an improved quality of life without wasting and damaging basic resources is a pervasive theme in today's world. The transfer of ideas from one region to another is increasingly possible, but equally important are local ways of knowing and doing that develop from intimate familiarity with specific places. Both the local and the global are connected in a complex network of opportunities and constraints. The substantially revised and updated ninth edition of World Regional Geography reflects these connections. Book jacket."--BOOK JACKET. |
