Human Geography, which now runs into the Third Edition, is a core textbook for geography students at the university level. It is mainly designed to introduce the discipline to the students in a social science perspective, and also to identify the human problems and the role of man in shaping the face of the earth.

One of the distinguishing features of the book is that it covers the wide canvas of Human Geography covering the cultural, historical, political, regional, social, urban and economic aspects of it. The text has been written in a lucid, cogent and convincing style, documented with interesting maps and diagrams and illustrated with apt and appropriate examples from both developed as well as developing regions of the world.

As with previous editions, the book retains its comprehensive coverage that has made it an indispensable resource for students. Numerous constructive suggestions, received from both geographers and students, have been given due consideration and incorporated in this revised fourth edition. Looking at the transformation of the population and economic data, the book has been thoroughly revised and updated with 2011 census data. This new edition will continue to meet the ever-growing needs of the new generation of students and teachers.
