Geography in Bite-sized Chunks

Demonstrating that there is more to geography than is revealed by satnavs and mobile phones, the first part of this book covers the natural world: the water cycle, rivers and oceans, climate, and the influence of tectonic plates on earthquakes and volcanoes. The second deals with the human issues of population, migration, the location of cities, industry, and development.
