Human Geography

An optional full-year, AP-style high-school course that studies where people live and why: Malthus counting mouths and harvests in 1798, Ravenstein reading his laws of migration to the Statistical Society in London in 1885, the steamers that brought millions through Ellis Island, von Thünen measuring the rings of his farm in Mecklenburg, Christaller mapping the market towns of southern Germany and Burgess drawing his circles over Chicago, each model worked with real numbers, tested against the evidence and weighed for what it explains and what it leaves out.
