Judy Getis is a professor at San Diego State University, San Diego.
Fellmann's Human Geography introduces students to the scope and excitement of human geography and its relevance
to their daily lives. Designed for the one-semester or one-quarter course, this edition continues to convey the
breadth of human geography and to provide insight into the nature and intellectual challenges of the field of geography
itself. The authors pay special attention to gender issues and assume no previous experience in geography on the
part of the students.
