The Dictionary of Geography is a Unique attempt at defining the terms and concepts most commonly used in Geomorphology, Climatography. Oceanography Geography, Population and Settlement Geography and Regional Geography. Its main aim is to help the students meet their course requirements. The idea is that the reader might know not only about all topics but also develop his or her own language to write them, the focus being on memorizing facts and then backup with proper terms and expressions. It is hoped that the Dictionary will acquaint the reader not only with the origin of a term/concept but also with its present/ accepted nomenclature in different parts of the world. And this should enhance their understanding of the sociological pattern from “home to neighborhood, then to the world and the universe around.”
