A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Small & Witherick's highly successful dictionary has already, in its first three editions, proved its value as a comprehensive guide to the key principles, concepts and terminology of contemporary geography. This new, accessible edition reflects developments in the discipline since 1995. Existing entries have been updated and new entries added, together with many new illustrations.

Covering both human and physical geography, this dictionary is an essential reference for A level and first-year undergraduate students of the subject.

Revue de presse

... redresses the bias towards physical geography exhibited by many previous editions ... This third edition is ideal for its target readership and I recommend it. (Reference Reviews)

I put ownership of this dictionary and a decent atlas as the essential bases for studying at A level having examined and still examining for Cambridge, Welsh Joint Education, and in the past for Oxford, I am emphatic about this. (Michael Carr, Homerton, Cambridge)
