  This introductory text addresses contemporary issues in both Canada and the USA. Reflecting recent shifts in the study of regional geography, the editors adopt an holistic approach, in which the physical, social, economic, political and cultural dimensions of both countries are seen as inextricably linked. The book examines the physical and environmental basis of the geography of North America, and the human interaction - both past and present - that has produced the multilayered, complex, contemporary human geography of this diverse region. A series of brief regional vignettes exemplify this diversity.
