    Description
    This course surveys the physical and cultural landscapes of California with emphasis on human-environment interaction and the spatial patterns of natural, socio-political, economic and demographic forces that have shaped the state. This course examines historical and current trends in climate, human population, cultural diversity, migration, and settlement patterns. Distinctive high-tech industries, iconic urban areas, resource use, transportation routes, and trade are assessed with an emphasis on the profound interconnections between these subjects, on California's diversity, and on the rapid change that is transforming our people and its landscapes. As the most populous state, there will be focus on the ongoing role of its residents in constructing the identity of the 21st Century Californian.
