All the necessary content is there in an accessible format, enriched with links to ToK and the requirements for the Internal Assessment. Richard Allaway, International School of Geneva and author of geographyalltheway.com I think Nagle is the master of textbooks and I would recommend his publication over any others any day. Geography Teacher, Hong Kong The Oxford IB course books are the best ever resource for both teachers and students. They are practical, insightful and fully in line with the IB Course outcomes. Pat Hanson, IB Coordinator, Academy of the Holy Cross, USA All of the Oxford IB course books are terrific. Carolyn Hawkins, IB Coordinator, Cookeville High School, USA We have adopted most of the Oxford course books for our school. We find them well written, well linked to TOK issues and age appropriate.
