Human Geography
After following the Well-Trained Mind history rotation model faithfully for five years, Digger and I have decided to break away and do a year of human geography. Well, actually, we won't be breaking away altogether because I still intend to finish reading the Human Odyssey (K12) series and read several pieces of historical fiction, but aside from those minor things, we won't be doing history at all.
Anyway, for those of you who are interested in such things, we will be using de Blij's Human Geography text, as it got a good review on the AP Central website. And we will be reading several other books to supplement. I also got a new curriculum called Mapping the World with Art that looks fun and interesting.
Here is a photo of the books we'll be using.
And yes there are three books about food.

HI: I followed you here from the WTM board.
I love your selection of books, there. I've never thought of "human geography" as a subject. I'd love to hear more about it.
I am currently reading "Food Matters" by Mark Bittman. And I just finished a book by Micheal Pollan. If you've inteest in the whole area of the problems with industrial food production, there's another couple of authors for you.
