IB Geography

Expertly written, this lively, full colour book supports IB Diploma Programme students in Geography. The book covers the core course content and provides students with activities integrated with study and learning approaches, TOK, and the IB learner profile. It is full of case studies, extracts, quotations, statistics and activities to allow students to fully understand and discuss complex global issues. Examples, features, and case studies drawn from around the world will encourage students to develop an international perspective. All the necessary content is there in an accessible format, enriched with links to ToK and the requirements for the Internal Assessment. Richard Allaway, International School of Geneva and author of geographyalltheway.com I think Nagle is the master of textbooks and I would recommend his publication over any others any day.
