Geography of World Affairs at BYU

If you're looking for some resources to supplement your study of geography, check out Geography 120 Geography of World Affairs at BYU. This course uses Rowntree et al 2006. Diversity Amid Globalization: World Regions, Environment, Development, 3rd Edition, one of my personal favorites. Dr. Brandon Plewe also recommends Goode's World Atlas, which is a must-have for every lifelong learner's toolbox. You'll also find a link to the Prentice Hall companion textbook which you will find to be another great resource.

The essay assignment is excellent, with detailed instructions. It is sometimes hard to come up with one's own assignments, so Dr. Plewe has laid out all the requirements for this one.

You'll really enjoy the slide presentations, however, some of the topics don't have slides, which is a disappointment, especially after viewing the ones that are available.

Note: Amazon.com sometimes has excellent prices on this textbook and the atlas. If you can find them at an affordable price, they will give you many hours of excellent study time.
