"Widdowson is able to distil complex ideas in simple and straightforward prose, which should be the aim of all geographical writing. This along with excellent, consistently drawn, clear and unambiguous diagrams (including ingenious cutaways, sequenced imagery, Ordnance Survey maps and map/photograph montages) make this book an excellent tool for delivering the curriculum, either in the classroom or when pupils are reviewing the text independently." Dr Andrew Lee, Head of Geography, Wetherby Prep School
