Integrated Human Geography

This text is part of a series designed to provide sixth formers with the opportunity to learn, by self-discovery, how theory matches practice, and how local or distant geographies can come alive in the classroom. It provides students and teachers with the opportunity to pick and mix according to their own strengths, interests and the syllabus they are following. Case studies on both global and local scales provide a continuous link with geography as it is practised outside the classroom. "Integrated Human Geography" studies the interfaces between the major systematic branches of human geography - population, settlement and economic and political change - with frequent references made to major factors such as technology, energy and transport. Case studies are used to illustrate links between major areas of human geography at various scales.
