Acerca de los autores

Lester Rowntree was born in England and spent much of her life in Carmel, California. In addition to "Hardy Californians, "she wrote "The Flowering Shrubs of California "and four children's books. Lester B. Rowntree, her grandson, is a visiting scholar at the University of California, Berkeley.

"Les Rowntree" teaches both Geography and Environmental Studies at San Jose State University in California, where he recently completed a term as the Chair of the interdisciplinary Department of Environmental Studies. As an environmental geographer, Dr. Rowntree's teaching and research interests focus on international environmental issues, the human dimensions of global change, biodiversity and conservation, and human-caused landscape transformation. He sees world regional geography as a way to engage and inform students by giving them the conceptual tools needed to assess global issues critically in their larger context. Dr. Rowntree has done research in Morocco, Mexico, Australia, and Europe, as well as in his native California. Current writing projects include a book on the natural history of California's Central Coast, along with textbooks in geography and environmental science. "Martin Lewis" is a lecturer in International Affairs at Stanford University He has conducted extensive research on environmental geography in the Philippines and on the intellectual history of global geography. His publications include "Wagering the Land: Ritual, Capital, and Environmental Degradation in the Cordillera of ""Northern Luzon,"" 1900-1986" (1992), and with Karen Wigen, "The Myth of Continents: A Critique of Metageography" (1997). Dr. Lewis has traveled extensively in East, South, and Southeast Asia. His current research focuses on the geographical dimensions of globalization. "Marie Price" is an Associate Professor of Geography and International Affairs at George Washington University A Latin American specialist, Marie has conducted research in Belize, Mexico, Venezuela, Cuba, and Bolivia. Shehas also traveled widely throughout Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa. Her studies have explored human migration, natural resource use, environmental conservation, and regional development. Dr. Price brings to "Globalization and Diversity "a special interest in regions as dynamic spatial constructs that are shaped over time through both global and local forces. Her publications include articles in the "Annals of the Association of American Geographers, Geographical Review, Journal of Historical Geography, CLAG Yearbook, Studies in Comparative International Development, the Brookings Institution Series" and "Focus." "William Wyckoff" is a geographer in the Department of Earth Sciences at Montana State University specializing in the cultural and historical geography of North America.

A World Regional Geography instructor for 18 years, Dr. Wyckoff hopes that the fresh approach taken in "Globalization and Diversity" will more effectively highlight the tensions evident in the world today as global change impacts particular places and people in dramatic and often unpredictable ways.
