Abstract
Classroom teaching about specific foreign regions need not be limited to a sterile inventory of climatic zones and economic products. It can be an opportunity to present and discuss current research techniques and concepts and to test these ideas using real people, living landscapes, and actual events.1 John Augelli has recently demonstrated, for instance, how political-geographic concepts can be brought to life using the Caribbean as a particular study region.2 He shows how Caribbean characteristics can be linked to macro-geographic considerations that could, in some cases, lead to a world crisis scenario.
