Investigating Physical Geography : An Exercise Manual

This exercise manual reaches beyond the parent texts it accompanies ("Modern Physical Geography" and "Elements of Physical Geography") in selected topics of investigation that lend themselves to problem-solving activities and illustrate the scientific methods of research in physical geography.

Introductory paragraphs relate the topic of each exercise to significant and familiar aspects of everyday life and include references to interesting places and to historical and current events.

Geological relationships are stressed throughout, and skills in cartographic analysis are continually reinforced.
