A Dictionary of Geography (Oxford Paperback Reference)

A useful reference book from an Amazon supplier who, as usual, provided accurate and useful info, kept their word and delivered on time. With over 6000 definitions this fourth edition contains most aspects of physical geography and also references aspects of human geography which are both interesting and informative. Entries are well headlined. The 2009 edition is bang up to date in terms of current issues. Geography students alongside those who still ponder on the changing nature of the world in which we live should enjoy this book and find the subject matter thought provoking.

Just recently purchased this book from amazon to have to refer to while on my Geography degree level course. Was not sure if it would be too basic for the level I am studying, but it is very comprehensive and well worth having at home if you are studying geography at A-level and above I would suggest. Its about the size of a 'novel' so quite a handy size, not going to clutter up to much space either! This particular range from oxford also has many other titles/subjects areas, economics, ecology, to many others, so if its not geography for you I imagine the others in the range will be just as good!
