Revue de presse

The pages are student-friendly and contain a very high standard of resource material. Graphs, tables, diagrams and maps are well-used and integrated into the text and provide an ample source of stimulus material for debate within class or as a means of highlighting key processes and themes (Teaching Geography)

The new edition of this comprehensive A-level textbook is an invaluable reference for the committed and able A-level student who is seeking a single-volume companion. The authors are experienced teachers who skilfully compile meaty segments, topped and tailed with reinforcement and extension questions.

The approach used here is well suited to bring high student grades in the current mode of A-level examinations.

(TES)

Excellent case studies. I particularly like the 'definitions' inserts as you progress through the chapters. (Mr Booler, Hayfield Comprehensive, Doncaster)
