With case studies from all four corners of the world, this series has something for every student. The coursebook supports learners with a range of international case studies, practical geographical tips and fieldwork ideas. Furthermore, the CD-ROM contains support sheets for topics, outline maps and exam-style questions so students have all the resources they need to practise their skills. With further case studies in the revision guide, such as tourism in Kenya and volcanic activity in Japan, students receive plenty of illustrative examples. These help them understand processes that affect physical and human environments on a local, regional and global scale.

Overview

Explore tourism in Kenya, to urban sprawl in Dubai, and the cautionary tale of Unawatuna beach in Sri Lanka. This revision guide helps students understand the processes that affect physical and human environments on a local, regional and international scale. With detailed descriptions and explanations of geographical topics and themes, the revision guide complements the variety of activities in the coursebook and reinforces understanding. Exam-style questions, international case studies from across 5 continents and a chapter on geographic skills give students practice with course content and skills in preparation for assessment. Sample answers to all of the revision book questions are in the back of the book.
