Customer Reviews

An excellent supplement for an A Level course!4
This book is really well written and is an ideal supplement for an A Level geography or Environmental Science course. We use it at my College for the second year of an Environmental science course (AQA unit 4) and find it invaluable. The book focuses on the impact of current global changes such as global warming on our most important industry - agriculture. The coloured global maps are excellent and allow students to gain a good understanding of the distribution of various crops e.g. wheat, as well as global warming. Good visual resource.
