"Influences of Geographic Environment" by Ellen Churchill Semple adapts the ideas of anthropo-geography for a new audience. It focuses on how things like mountains and rivers affect how people live and societies grow. From the start, the book makes it clear that where people live has a huge effect on their behavior, culture, and even the course of history, suggesting these effects lead to recurring patterns over time.
