		Human geography is a branch of geography that focuses on the study of patterns and processes that shape human interaction with various environments.
		While the major focus of human geography is not the physical landscape of the Earth (see physical geography), it is hardly possible to discuss human geography without referring to the physical landscape on which human activities are being played out, and environmental geography is emerging as a link between the two.
		Regional geography is a branch of geography that studies the regions of all sizes across the Earth.

	Geography - an introduction - Citizendium
		Geography (from the Greek words Ge (γη) or Gaea (γαια), both meaning "Earth", and graphein (γραφειν) meaning "to describe" or "to write"or "to map") is the study of the surface of the Earth and the activities of humanity upon it.
		Historically, geography was closely associated with eras of exploration and, as such, geographers have been seen as synonymous with cartographers and people who study place names: so-called "capes and bays" geography.
		Human geography focuses largely on the built environment and how space is created, viewed and managed by humans as well as the influence humans have on the space they occupy.

	IVC Geography Department
		Geography is the academic discipline which studies the earth and its people in their many mutual relationships and regional variations.
		Geography students examine a broad range of topics ranging from the physical nature of the earth's surface and atmosphere to the varied human activities which interrelate with the physical environment and result in a distinct spatial imprint on the land.
		As a result of its interdisciplinary nature, geography is an outstanding discipline for students who wish to integrate the physical and social sciences.

		After the quantitative revolution of the 1960’s, the “old” philosophies and methodologies of human geography were still in practice, but the “new” approaches within human geography undoubtedly prevailed over the “old”.
		By 1969, a series of essays were written by Cox and Golledge designating “behavioral geography” as the new branch of geography that evolved from the modifications and alterations to the “new” approach to spatial science.

	GENIP
		The educational reform movement that began in the 1980s, and was quick to have an impact on geography, has resulted in a consensus on geography's contribution to the precollegiate curriculum.
		Thus college and university geography programs are confronted with a challenge: how to influence teacher certification programs at their institutions to insure that future geography teachers have some geography to teach.
		Curricula that prepare geography teachers (whether as a free-standing course or as a strand in the social studies) should require at least 30 hours at the secondary level, at least 15 hours at the middle school level, and at least 12 hours at the elementary level.
