Summary: Not the greatest geography text...by far
Comment: After using this book as the first year text at university, I discovered that this book is lacking in conceptual content in many sections and overall, is not very clear. I must say that the two stars are for the sections that were good. These included the section on nations and states, basic population geography and a couple more. All backed up with maps, of course.
The maps are good, but there are too many related to insignificant examples, and several sections in the book where a more general map would have been helpful.
I think that the authors have concentrated too much on production of many editions of the same work and have not thought about the content, or the readability of a text. Especially for a text which is so broad as to make it suitable only for a first year text book, if it's lucky.
I have found The Dictionary of Human Geography (Johnston, et al., 1994) a much more valuable item on the book shelf. It is not as colourful but is by far more contextually solid. Fellman, Getis and Getis is in my opinion a severly lacking text and should only be read for two reasons. 1, to look at the pictures, and 2, if you live in an isolated region and can't get any other books.
