Specialty Definition: HUMAN GEOGRAPHY

Human geography, as a branch of the modern discipline, deals with the changing distribution and spatial organization of a variety of human characteristics, ranging from great urban centres built by man to the geographical diffusion of specific technical innovations in agriculutre. By applying geographical methods and techniques of analysis to such features, the knowledge accumulated in other social studies-history, politics, economics, and sociology-may be seen in a new light and often extended considerably.
