N2  - A PBS television course and video resource that examines the dynamic geographic forces currently shaping our world. The programs are organized around the text written by H. J. de Blij and Peter O. Muller, Geography: realms, regions and concepts. The study of world regional geography has two objectives. First, it explains the modern world's great geographic realms and their assets and liabilities, links and barriers, potentials and prospects. Second, it introduces geography itself, the discipline that links human societies and natural environments. The telecourse builds an understanding of geography by examining the eleven regions of the world and their interconnections
