• Addresses and explains key themes of geography, including scale, physical processes, cultural processes, patterns, relationships, models, and trends

• Integrates time, space, and place in geography, documenting how it is not only the study of spatial patterns, but also the fact that many discoveries in geography came about because of the particular time and place in which the discoverers lived
