Lydia Mihelic Pulsipher

Lydia Mihelic Pulsipher is a cultural-historical geographer who studies the landscapes of ordinary people through the lens of geography. She has contributed to several geography-related exhibits at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C., including "Seeds of Change," which featured her research in the eastern Caribbean on human adaptation to the Neo-troics in the post-Columbian period, including the present. She and her graduate students have also looked at cultural geography and national/ethnic identity issues in the new Central European members of the European Union, and at the impact of tourism development on traditional landscapes in these countries. In January, 2009, Dr. Pulsipher was awarded the Preston E. James Eminent Latin Americanist Career Award, by the Conference of Latin Americanist Geographers, for work on the cultural and environmental geography of the Eastern Caribbean and Latin America, and public outreach through collaborations with the Smithsonian Institution and the Seeds of Change exhibit.

Like no other textbook, Pulsipher and Pulsipher’s World Regional Geography puts a human face on the study of regional geography, showing how larger geographical forces affect the lives of individuals and communities around the globe. It’s a refreshing, people-centered approach to the subject focusing on the stories of real people, global trends and interregional linkages, and contemporary topics that transcend regional borders (the war on terrorism, global political order, interregional trade, the global economy, popular culture, the environment, and the Internet).

Lydia and Alex Pulsiphers’ ability to humanize abstract concepts through personal vignettes makes this a book your students will read and enjoy. A new “Thematic Overview of the Region” offers a visual introduction to each chapter, while the new photo essays will draw your students into real events. The “Things to Remember” speedbumps at the end of each section will help students to pause and reflect before moving on. And the “Reasons for Optimism” close each chapter on an upbeat note. You are sure to like how the “Learning Objectives” open each chapter and are then revisited throughout to give students a solid understanding of concepts presented. You will also enjoy the extra videos, maps, and map-based quizzes on the book’s companion site. The new edition also includes coverage of the Japanese earthquake/tsunami/nuclear incident, the “Arab Spring” protests, and the death of Osama bin Laden.
