The Canadian edition of Human Geography: Landscapes of Human Activities retains the goals and best features of the US edition, seeking to introduce readers to the scope and excitement of human geography, and its relevance in their daily lives and roles as informed citizens. This book was written to convey the richness and breadth of human geography and to give insight into the nature and intellectual challenges of the field of geography itself. The text's treatment of concepts and international case studies provides a very sound foundation from which to adapt the book to the Canadian market, covering the breadth of Geography with strong pedagogical features. Two new boxes added to the Canadian edition, and perhaps the most distinctive features among its competitors, are the “Want to Know More” and “Gender” boxes integrated throughout the book, covering gender roles in society and culture. These, along with existing features that have been well-reviewed by users of the US edition, make this text an outstanding tool for Canadian instructors and students.

In response to the changing facts of human geography and to changing understandings of those facts, this edition is changed from the fifth edition in three substantive ways. First, there is much new content, most notably the addition of two more chapters on aspects of urban geography. Second, there is an increased emphasis on providing information for students in easily readable ways, especially though the addition of 53 new Figures, 26 new Tables, 35 new Boxes, and 45 new Glossary items. Third, much of the detailed factual content in this sixth edition is new.
