Learning to Teach Geography in the Secondary School Reviews

'This is a practical and visionary book, as well as being superbly optimistic.

Practical activities and ideas are set within a carefully worked out, authoritative, conceptual framework.' - The Times Educational Supplement

'This is a modern, powerful, relevant and comprehensive work that is likely to become a standard reference for many beginning teachers on geography initial teacher training courses in England and Wales.' - Educational Review
