"If you are looking for a three-book course for key stage 3 geography - and several are around - you would do well to consider
Target Geography. It has many characteristics of a well-developed series. ... Probably the series would be most effective if "played straight" by building the key stage 3 programme around the three books in successive years. Teachers would then ensure full coverage of the national curriculum. Attention has been paid to progression and continuity. Important themes recur throughout the series, growing in depth and range with each revisit. So early work on weather develops in Book 1 to a unit on climate and Book 3 looks at weather systems. The suggested activities also become more challenging and across the books the scale of study increases. .... Each unit has activity boxes to draw on the content. Some contain good ideas. They get pupils into a wide range of approaches such as problem solving, personal response, working in pairs and groups, and developing or relating table data to a map. .... The books are robust. Text is usually clear, up-to-date, and sufficient to build on. There are plenty of maps and diagrams the photographs (particularly the larger ones) are often stunning. There is much here to enjoy and stimulate."
