"The new OUP GCSE Geography text book gives a comprehensive, visual, relevant coverage of the new syllabus. The content follows a logical, easy-to-use structure. The questions will, we feel, consolidate learning and understanding and cater for all learning styles. We particularly like the activities such as 'odd one out' and diagram drawing. There's a good mixture of geographical processes and case studies. The case studies included are up to date, interesting and relevant. The book also includes excellent sections about exam practice and success and an extremely useful section for the controlled assessment." - Helen Phillips, The Chadwell Heath Foundation School "The Edexcel course impressed me, it looks exciting and dynamic and will really fit
into young peoples lives. The book compliments the course outline really well. It's bright and eye-catching with a variety of styles which satisfies the most curious of minds. We've used the Geog.123 series now for a number of years and pupils have enjoyed the balance of visual and written stimulus materials along with good quality support resources I have every confidence Oxford publishing have come up with another winning series!" - Simon Abel, Kings High School "The book is in a bold colour which grabs attention and looks interesting. It is well set out and in my opinion has the balance between text and diagrams right. There is not so much that students fell overwhelmed, and equally there is not too little. The text is also broken down in to nice 'chunks' of information so it is
accessible for all, this is particularly important to us as we will be studying GCSEs with year 9, so it is important that a diverse cohort can cope and access the text. One of my Year 9's said "the diagrams and pictures make things easier to understand and topics sounds quite interesting!" - Leanne Williamson, Geography Temple Moor High School "The GCSE Geography Edexcel B course provides students with a diverse and innovative content covering up to date topics. The students' book covers everything students need to know in a language which they can access easily making the transition from KS3 to KS4 easier. The book includes key word definitions, bright easy to read diagrams for visual learners and good questions, which are accessible yet allowing extension for higher attainers.
In short this book provides an excellent grounding for GCSE geography" - Frances Currie, Queens Park Community School "The new GCSE textbooks are informative and engaging. The information is displayed in a variety of methods. This ensures students of all abilities are able to make progress. The case studies are contemporary and support the new specification well. I especially like the section on researching geography at the rear of the book" - Kevin Cromwell, Cromer High School Language College
