With two Geography experts - and leading figures of the Geographical Association - authoring this book, there is something for any primary school teacher, structured around the requirements set out by England's National Curriculum. This is a great book for those wishing to overhaul and update their Geography curriculum within a primary school and could be implemented by a subject specialist, leader or teacher who loves the potential opportunities such a rich subject as Geography has got on offer.

This is one of the best primary geography books I have come across in a long time. For all the non-specialist geography teachers out there, which is the majority of primary teachers, this book is absolutely fabulous! It is practical, sensible, concisely written. A must for every primary school teacher.
