Across This Land, A Comprehensive View of North America

If one wants to comprehend the geography of North America, John C. Hudson's book ACROSS THIS LAND is a good stating point. Hudson breaks North America (the United States and Canada) down into twenty-seven sub-regions. The book is a comprehesive geography in that it explores the scope of the field, from physical geography to the realms of culture, economics, and history. To understand the contemporary landscape and the forces that shaped it, one must look into the past. Hudson's analysis is well-written and engaging. I use this book, which is written for a general audience, as a text for my course in Geography of North America at Dickinson State University.
