S1/S2 Geography

This text is aimed at the S1/S2 market in Scotland, and fits with the latest requirements of the 5-14 guidelines. The authors have covered the broad areas of content as suggested in the latest guides, interpreted in the light of classroom experience and consultation with teachers. Theory is minimised, and case studies of actual countries are described to put thematic material in context, and to develop the basis of knowledge for pupils.

There are eight core chapters, covering a range of topics reflecting the prescribed strands of Using Maps; the Physical Environment; the Human Environment; and Human-Physical Interactions. Each topic is covered with a double page spread of core content, with an additional page of extension information and assignments where appropriate. Maximum use is made of maps, diagrams, sketches and photographs, to fully illustrated and explain the text to pupils. The book will be appropriate for levels D to F.
