EXPLORING GLOBAL HISTORY THROUGH THE LENS OF GEOGRAPHY World Historical Geography offers a bold and original approach to world history by placing geography at the heart of historical transformation. Rather than treating geography as a passive backdrop, Jaime Moreno-Tejada emphasizes its active role in shaping regional developments and global connections. This innovative textbook captures the interdisciplinary nature of historical geography, drawing from paleoclimatology, paleogenetics, archaeology, and environmental history to explore how physical and human geographies have influenced the past. Organized into twelve regionally focused chapters, World Historical Geography guides students from the origins of humanity in Sub-Saharan Africa to the diverse cultural landscapes of the Caribbean. Each chapter identifies key historical-geographic trends and includes three Global Themes-short, focused essays that explore topics such as migration, symbolic power, domestication, and river systems. These micro-essays enrich the regional narratives while encouraging cross-chapter exploration. Chapter reflections and concluding questions further prompt students to think critically about spatial boundaries and historical processes at multiple scales. World Historical Geography: Regional Trends and Global Themes is ideal for undergraduate and graduate courses in World History, World Geography, or Area Studies. It is especially suited for courses within humanities and social science degree programs that emphasize interdisciplinary inquiry and global perspectives.
