Key terms are highlighted and defined the first time they appear in the text.
Content is presented using simple language, accurate diagrams, maps and a well-paced structure.
Individual, pair- and group-work Geography in Action activities are linked to the Junior Cycle Key Skills and allow students to practise their geographical skills.
Did you know? boxes provide students with interesting facts related to the chapter topic.
Up-to-date and relevant case studies bring Geography to life for students.
