The Environment of the British Isles Zusammenfassung

The Environment of the British Isles: An Atlas A. S. Goudie (Head of Department and Professor of Geography, Head of Department and Professor of Geography, University of Oxford)

In this atlas the authors have brought together, in accessible form, a set of maps which portray a vivid picture of the physical environment of the British Isles. Each set of maps is accompanied by text that explains the nature and causes of the patterns that can be observed. The contents are broadly based, covering the geology, geomorphology, hydrology, climatolgoy, soils, biogeography, and seas of the British Isles and the human impact on each of these aspects. The maps are as uncomplicated as the subject matter allows and the text is designed to be accessible to a wide range of readers. The book was prepared to celebrate the centenary of the Geographical Assocation. From it emerges a remarkable picture of the physical landscape. Together with its companion volume, Britiain in the 1990s: A Social and Economic Atlas, it provides a comprehensive overview of the British Isles.

The early location of a place-name map for the major relief regions makes the text, which is replete with place names, comprehensible both to foreigners and to the locationally challenged. Having all the maps together encourages spatial correlation, raises interesting questions, and suggests areas for further research. * Environment and Planning *
