Packed with practical hints, study tips, short cuts and examples, this book is designed to help you throughout your degree.

Updated and revised throughout, this new edition contains a new chapter on Careers and CVs, showing how geography can help you develop skills of use to future employers.

This book is essential for anyone who is doing geography, It is especially useful for improving essay skills, but also covers things like presentation skills and debating skills. It has a lot of little tasks to help you improve too, so it's not just mindless reading.
Format:Paperback
I'm a first year geography student, this book was on my reading list but it wasn't a must buy product. However I am so glad I bought this, I found it very useful, it has basic techniques and tips for geography students (They may seem basic but they do help) and I have used the book to help me with my revision and essays.
