Review
This book would be a useful class text for most A-level students who would appreciate working with such a thorough specialised book of a manageable size rather than a more voluminous copy containing all A-level topics. -- Geography 20030701 If future titles keep up this standard, the series will become widely-used as in-depth supplementary material to central A-level texts. (About ATG Climate and Society, Arid and Semi Arid Environments, Health and Welfare) -- TES 20030207 The "Access to Geography" series... has hit the right level and style for A-level students as well as lay readers. It offers a general introduction to key topics, case studies, summaries and exercises, and plentiful subheadings and bullet-points help easy navigation. -- TES Teacher 20040618
Product Description
The book looks at global patterns and climate mechanisms and compares and contrasts climates of the British Isles, Europe and Mediterranean Europe. Particular attention is paid to studying microclimates and investigating climate hazards and the effects these have on society, including the recent floods in Mozambique and famine in Africa.
