Author Description

This book forms part of a series that progresses through the study of GCSE geography using a selection of pupil based tutorial books, copymaster packs and teacher resource books. Acting as a foundation course for GCSE geography this series of books is built around a central core which is enquiry-based to illustrate the relevance of geography in a contemporary world. Areas of interest covered include the study of spatial patterns and the physical, economic, social and political processes that determine them and in-depth investigation of case studies taken from local, national and global settings. The series allows pupils to explore and express their feelings about issues by providing knowledge and understanding, ensuring that learning objectives are defined in terms of knowledge, skills, concepts, values and attitudes. The series has now been updated and revised to meet Key Stage 3 of the National Curriculum.
