Description

DESCRIPTION

This full-colour Student Book covers all core and optional units for the AQA AS and A Level Geography specification for first teaching from September 2016. Students are encouraged to develop links between physical and human topics, understand systems, processes, and acquire geographical skills. Helping to bridge the gap from GCSE to A Level, it also provides support for fieldwork skills and for the geographical investigation at A Level. A ‘Maths for geographers’ feature helps students develop and apply their mathematical and statistical skills, and a range of assessment-style questions support students in developing their exam skills.
