Navigating Culture serves as a companion for World Cultural Geography (and Cultural Geography of the U.S.) courses. Geography in itself is vastly multidisciplinary, and no one book can do justice to the range of possible topics relating to culture. Kendall Hunt's broad variety of texts applicable to cultural geography were reviewed; and individual chapters were compiled and edited to incite conversation about history, population studies, religion, politics, economics, music, language, film, and the ever-present media communication. The book begins with a casual look at the who-what-when-where-why perspective of geography while introducing students to prerequisite information for the remaining chapters. The range of author expertise in this text demonstrates the breadth of geographic thought and its relevance to a truly educated citizenry.
