Excellent case studies. I particularly like the 'definitions' inserts as you progress through the chapters.

Customer Reviews

Useful for A Level Geography, but not sufficient
We use this text book at school and it is very good for specific case studies. However, there are not always relevant ones and because it is not course specific, you will probably require additional information from other books. Excellent layout and colour pictures help give good background information for new topics. Contains helpful glossaries throughout text which are great for more complicated areas. Informative and interesting, but unfortunately not sufficient for my A Level Geography syllabus (AQA).

Helpful Geography Book
This really is good if you are doing AS-Level geography, it contains easy definitions that help you learn and also lots of really interesting graphs and maps. We actually use this book at my college and it really makes life easier when writing essays.
