Textbooks in Human Geography: An American perspective [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
I offer an American perspective on the poor quality of US Human Geography textbooks. I give several examples and link bad textbooks to geographic ignorance and anti-intellectualism in the USA. I note differences between textbook and academic writing, and between British and American textbooks. I conclude with my own modest attempts to address this issue.
