Description
A self-contained textbook covering the three modules required for AS - physical environment, human environment and geographical investigation. Geography for AS has been developed specifically for the new Advanced Subsidiary specifications, and matches the requirements of OCR's Geography specification A. The content closely follows the specification, with sections on each of the three modules required for AS: the physical environment, the human environment and geographical investigation. The authors have included a diverse range of case studies, photographs, maps and diagrams. Opportunities for the development of key skills, relating to student activities and module 3 (geographical investigation) have been sign-posted throughout. The book has been written by experienced teachers and geographers, and has been endorsed by OCR for use with their AS specification. It is also relevant to Advanced level and undergraduate students.
