Review

"This book provides an excellent foundation for senior school geography... detailed and accurate with plenty to challenge the more able pupil." Julian Hodgeson, Marlborough College "One of the strengths of the book is that it provides detailed and substantive explanations which support revision and exam preparation. Moreover, as the exercises closely track the content of the syllabus, they provide an excellent opportunity to consolidate learned facts and processes. Well done!" Andrew Lee, Head of Geography, Dulwich College, Shanghai "James Dale Adcock possesses a fluent writing style. His explanations and up to date case studies will capture the interest of the prep school student whilst providing a firm foundation for success at Common Entrance and beyond. I particularly like the examination tips - so useful for young geographers facing written exams. James's experience in successfully preparing his own students has certainly been encapsulated in this volume. This second book by James perfectly complements Book 1 and should be part of every Head of Department's armoury!" Simon Lewis, ISEB Geography editor
