A Geography of Contemporary Britain

Specifically designed for students studying for GCSE examinations, this text takes a look at British geography. It contains sections on Britain's population, rural and urban environment, industries, power and communications and Britain's relations with the world. It focuses on current issues and includes case study material to enhance the general principles discussed. A series of "contrasting viewpoints" written by well known people such as Arthur Scargill and Norman Tebbit has been specially commissioned and there are also "database" pages of maps and statistics plus "workbase" pages for student activity.
