Trade Review
‘Due to its rich and stimulating background theory and thinking relating to current geography teaching, it is an essential read for all geography teachers however experienced…This book does what no other geography education text does in one volume – it raises questions about the nature of geography teaching – and although scholarly, it makes the ‘problematic’ in geography teaching accessible. The judges were impressed by the array, depth and contemporary nature of the chapters reflecting current curriculum and assessment issues.’ - Geographical Association Publishers Awards: Silver Award winner
