Abstract
Europe is a continent characterized by great complexity both physically and culturally. It is a fascinating place steeped in history yet seemingly in a state of con - stant flux. The region provides a challenge to authors who endeavor to present a comprehensive view of Europe. This book targets students in introductory col - lege courses and focuses on contemporary Europe. Each chapter has a different author, writing style, approach, and struc - ture that reflects that author's area of in - terest and expertise. Chapters are in - cluded that are topically focused such as those on population and urban geogra - phy, while others have a regional focus like the chapters on Great Britain and Southern Europe. The result of this approach is a text suitable to supplement a course focused on the regional geogra - phy of Europe that, by providing detailed and comprehensive information in cer - tain areas, allows instructors to spend class time presenting topics of their choice and material not covered by this book.
