Description:
Changing Geography will introduce your A-level students to concepts and ideas from current research in higher education, giving them fresh themes for their project work and enabling more students to reach the highest grades. Contemporary case studies, suggestions for imaginative projects, pacy design and full colour illustrations will guarantee their appeal to the 16-19 age group.
Covering areas that tend to be excluded from conventional 16-19 texts, the titles in this new series will also bridge the gap between school and university geography and prepare your students for the type of work they will encounter during their university studies. Changing Geography aims to take post-16 geography right into the mainstream of geographical thinking.
Do your students know about the pizza effect? Have they investigated waterfronts and flagships? Do they know which cultural influences impinge on the re-imaging of cities? Investigations of these (and other) features of change in city centres are described in Restructuring city centres. It provides your students with activities and information to enable them to undertake an exploration of the rapidly changing nature of the character of city centres.
