Edexcel (A) Advanced Geography meets the specific needs of AS and A2 students by providing comprehensive and accessible coverage of the Edexcel (A) specification.
Printed in full colour and highly illustrated throughout, the textbook will guide students through the specification, helping them to develop the required knowledge and understanding of the core topics in
physical and human geography examined in each unit.
Written by Andy Palmer and Nigel Yates, both experienced authors and senior examiners, the textbook comprises 17 chapters, each covering in detail the subject content of one of the three sub-sections to each AS and A2 unit.
Key terms are clearly explained and geographical processes and topics illustrated with up-to-date case
studiesand full-colour maps, graphs, diagrams and photographs. Regular examiner's advice explains the
important points about a topic that students need to understand and apply correctly in the exam.
Each chapter concludes with sample examination-style questions written to reflect the demands placed
on students by the examination papers, and synoptic links to show how the topics relate to other parts of
the specification.
