A new series of full-coverage resources developed for the AQA 2016 A/AS Level Geography specification
"This full-colour Student Book covers all core and optional units for the AQA AS and A Level Geography specification for first teaching from September 2016. Students are encouraged to develop links between physical and human topics, understand systems, processes, and acquire geographical skills. Helping to bridge the gap from GCSE to A Level, it also provides support for fieldwork skills and for the geographical investigation at A Level. A ‘Maths for geographers’ feature helps students develop and apply their mathematical and statistical skills, and a range of assessment-style questions support students in developing their exam skills.

"This volume (no. 1 in the series) contains a general introduction. The material for this section is based on the work of the National Council for Innovation in Education, who published a pamphlet in September 1973 entitled Curriculum for the Senior High School, Part I: General Section. This pamphlet was sent to all schools and interested bodies for their comments. The principal ideas contained in the pamphlet and the comments which came in were considered by the Interim Council for Upper Secondary Education and the Ministry of Church and Education in White Paper No. 44 (1974-75) concerning further education. They were presented in the National Assembly in Bill No. 395 (1974-75) and in the debate of 5 June 1975, which is reported in Parliamentary Proceedings No. 60 ff. This is the background to the present edition, which was prepared in December 1975 after consultation with the Interim Council for Upper Secondary Education. In certain respects the English edition was brought up to date in November 1976." -- (Foreword)
