This volume was designed to encourage discussion and debate of key geographical topics in a challenging manner. For each issue a sound body of information is given, and pupils are asked to explore different options, values and attitudes, and to justify their decisions and points of view. The real consequences of geographical matters are considered and students are encouraged to see how their views count. A range of scales and locations are covered, and the questions and activities aim to provide preparation for exams.
