Synopsis:

Intended for students studying geography and the environmental sciences, this first Canadian edition is a concise yet comprehensive guide to effective communication. Focusing on why strong written and verbal communication skills are so important in this field, the authors demonstrate how to develop these skills to produce high quality work. Drawing on Canadian sources and examples, the text examines the communication forms that students will encounter throughout their academic careers, including essays, lab reports, reviews, posters, graphs, tables, maps, oral presentations, and exams. Written in clear, accessible language, Communicating in Geography and the Environmental Sciences, first Canadian edition, is an indispensable guide for all students of geography and environmental science.
