This is part of a four-book course in geography designed to meet the needs of children following the revised National Curriculum. The emphasis in the course is on accessibility and manageability, within the overall Key Stage 2 curriculum. The places featured have been carefully chosen to provide a range of sizes, functions, and locations. The required themes are introduced through the study of these places. Skills are practised throughout. A key feature of the series is the use of case studies showing real people in real places.
