Description
Originally published in 1986, this comprehensive and integrated text covers both physical and human geography. In the physical geography sections, the human factor receives due attention; man-environment themes such as resource use and environmental management are interwoven throughout the book; and in the human geography sections, both the developed and the developing world are featured. Substantial case studies link the theoretical discussion firmly to the real world and provide a series of worked examples with maps and photographs. Amply illustrated and complete with a revision summary section listing key facts this book has enduring relevance and should be of continued interest to both A Level and undergraduate students.
