The Global Geography text book "Global Connections, Geography for the 21st Century" defines geography "as the
study of the physical and human environments of the world and the way in which these environments interact with each other."
It also says that the word geography "comes from two Greek words, ge, which means "earth", and graphia,
which means "writings."
