Geographie ist ein vielfältiges Fach. Das Studium setzt ein räumliches, historisches, sprachliches, kulturelles, naturwissenschaftliches und auch mathematisches Grundverständnis voraus. Dabei umfasst das Fach naturwissenschaftliche, geisteswissenschaftliche und sozialwissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse nicht in additiver, sondern in integrativer Sichtweise. Die Aufgabe dieses einführenden Lehrbuches ist es, Studienanfängern eine erste Orientierung im Fach Geographie zu vermitteln und sie in wissenschaftliches Denken und Arbeiten einzuführen. Ferner bietet das Buch viele nützliche Hinweise zu Studien- und Lerntechniken. Das Buch hat sich als kleines Lehrbuch erfolgreich bei Studierenden und Dozenten eingeführt. In der Neuauflage hat der Autor neue Beispiele aufgenommen und die Inhalte aktualisiert. Der Autor Axel Borsdorf ist ordentlicher Professor für Geographie an der Leopold Franzens Universität Innsbruck und zudem Leiter der Forschungsstelle für Gebirgsforschung der Österreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften. Er ist auch wirkliches Mitglied dieser Akademie, Vizepräsident des Österreichischen Lateinamerikainstituts und in zahlreichen Wissenschaftsvereinigungen und Forschungsnetzwerken aktiv. Eine Stimme zur ersten Auflage: „gelungener Einstieg in einen Studienbeginn (…) Möglichst vielen Hochschuldozenten ist die Verwendung in Einführungsübungen und Proseminaren zu empfehlen, aber der Band kann auch im Laufe des gesamten Studiums immer wieder gewinnbringend und anregend zur Hand genommen werden." (Rudolf Juchelka im Standort 2/2000).

The Andes are attracting global interest again: they hold valuable mineral resources, tourists appreciate their great natural beauty and the diversity of indigenous cultures, climbers scale rock and ice faces, while many others are intrigued by regional political developments, such as the Bolivarian revolution in Venezuela or the almost unfettered hegemony of the neoliberal economic model in Chile. This volume is the first attempt for decades to present a complete overview of the longest mountain chain on the planet – a region of remarkable climatic, floristic and geologic diversity, where advanced civilization developed well before the arrival of the Spanish. Today the Andes continue to be characterized by their ethnic, demographic, cultural and economic diversity, as well as by the disparity of local socioeconomic groups. The Andean countries pursue a wide range of approaches to tackle the challenges of making the best use of their natural and cultural potential without damaging their ecological basis, as well as to overcome economic disparity and foster social cohesion. This book provides insights into this unique region and its most pressing issues, complemented by a wealth of pictures and comprehensive diagrams, which, in sum, help to better understand these fascinating mountains.
