Why Study Geography? Bewertungen

Geography is the big-picture subject for our times. It encompasses subjects ranging from the microscopic - how soils form, and how those soils can be protected and managed well to grow food, for example - through to things as large-scale as the future trajectory of megacities and the threat of ever more warming of the planet. Alan Parkinson's guide clearly and carefully explains why geography is worthy of study, at GCSE, at A level and at university. It is bang up to date. Students, their teachers and parents are all likely to find it essential reading. Danny Dorling, Halford Mackinder Professor of Geography, University of Oxford; Why Study Geography? is an inspiring guide that any potential geography student should read, whether they are considering their GCSE or sixth-form choices, contemplating their UCAS application, or seeking to understand the broader value of geography within the world of work. Packed with real-life case studies and extension activities, this book demonstrates the richly diverse nature of geography and gives students the tools they need to help them make well-informed decisions that will serve to shape their future. This is a must-read for any budding geographer, and for teachers, careers advisors and parents/guardians wishing to offer their guidance and support. Dr Claire E. Evans, geography teacher and Head of Careers & UCAS, Bloxham School; If you want the low-down on studying geography today - where and how it happens, what it means, and where it might take you - this book is the one-stop shop for all you need to know from one of the best-informed working geographers around. Carl Lee, associate lecturer at The University of Sheffield International School and co-author of Geography with Danny Dorling
