What text to use for AP Human Geography

[ladykayaker]

What text do you recommend ds uses to self-study for AP Human Geography ?

The AP Human Geo page at college board outlines the material to be covered, but lists no suggested texts.

Here's a link to the college board's recs for this course. The only way I found it was by googling "ap human geography textbook". I NEVER found it just by looking through the website. FWIW, my dd will be self studying for this exam also, and I'm planning to use Introduction to Geography by Getis, Getis, & Fellmann. This text is SO READABLE and interesting. Great controversial topics covered and many thought provoking questions. Since it's not set up to cover "countries", however, I'm also adding in AP study guides to cover any gaps. I will say it's been tough finding a teacher's edition for this text (still haven't found), but there are great assignments available via the free webpage for the text. It's linked below.
