Edexcel A2 Geography Textbook

This is a fantastic textbook. The information given is much clearer and detailed than the Oxford press book (the 'bird book'). This is a great textbook for anyone going for higher levels as in some cases it goes beyond the information you really need to know but in a very relevant and helpful way.I found it very easy to use and so helpful for teaching the a-level to myself.The only problems I had with it was that it had only a small amount of review questions and no practice exam questions.Would definately recommend!

I bought this for my daughter who is doing A levels before the January exams on the recommendation of her tutor. It's very well laid out and has a number of case studies which are required reading for the essay questions. She brought her mark up from C to A. Would recommend.

It's an attractive book, lots of graphics and colours which engage the reader and give information in a variety of different ways. It's quite nicely written and the level is about right - it could provide a bit more complexity on some issues but generally well pitched.One thing that did worry me slightly was in the energy section (chapter 1), where it claims that the middle east exports about 15,000 barrels of oil a day. I'm not an expert by any means but even I can tell that's WAY off the mark. A quick search shows that Saudi Arabia produces something like 10,000,000 barrels per day on it's own, of which, of course it exports the majority. I'm starting to think they must have meant 15,000,000 barrels a day, so only a factor of 1,000 out!

This book was recommended by my teacher, it contains brilliant overviews of each topic for the exams and has some very useful case studies. I would recommend it to any A2 level student wanting to achieve a high grade.

My daughter insisted on getting this book due to the many recommendations from fellow students and teachers. It has met her expectations.
