GEO 210 Climate And Culture
Prerequisites: None. The course broadens the students' understanding of how climate influences the development of cultures and the building of societies. The course opens with the idea that the influence of climate upon culture is often overlooked simply because it is so broad. The course then introduces the students to the full range of climatic influences upon culture from the general and the obvious to the virtually subliminal. The course will show that much of history can be explained by these concepts.
