Certificate physical and human geography is designed for use by pupils preparing for their secondary school-leaving examinations. All the main aspects of physical geography, world climatic and vegetational regions and human geography have been brought together so that the relationship between them can be easily appreciated. Frequent examples and a profusion of diagrams, sketches and photographs have been included to give students a more thorough understanding of the principles involved. Questions and exercises have been provided at the end of each chapter to enable pupils to test their own understanding of the subject. This revised edition meets the requirements of the latest ICSE syllabus.
