Geo-Mexico is the first book ever in English specifically about Mexico’s geography to target both general and academic audiences. It utilizes a variety of concepts, models and theories to engage readers in contemporary issues such as development, international migration, urban sprawl, sustainability and hazards like hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanoes and global warming.
Geo-Mexico explains Mexico’s growing north-south, urban-rural divide in terms of economic production, income, quality of life, culture, and voting patterns. It traces the historical processes behind Mexico’s current patterns of landforms, population, urbanization, transportation, communications, tourism and migration.
