Changing Environments: 16 - 19 Geography

Changing Environments: 16 - 19 Geography image one

Description:

A very good, thorough geography text book about changing river, rural, coastal and urban environments. Each of the chapters is well-laid out, well-written and reasonably even-handed. However, several of the case studies would have been improved if regional and global explanations of poverty and economic underdevelopment had been explored. For example, in the case of Malawi which was an ally of the South African government during the apartheid years, there is no mention of the legacy this has left. There is also no mention of the impact of IMF adjustment programmes (resulting from national debt and increasing global interest rates) on rural areas of Malawi. The text book has been written for the AS examination for Edexcel Geography Specification B. Although all the U.K. case studies are English, geography teachers in others parts of the UK will find the book useful. The topic on urban environments, for example, has clear relevance in Scotland.
