This book has the following chapters: Why are parts of the world rich and parts of the world poor? ; Is your dream holiday a nightmare in reality? ; Why do humans migrate? Is the grass always greener? ; Why is the population constantly changing?
...an excellent resource for Geography teachers...The text layout and font, the pictures, diagrams etc are all great and are accessible to all age groups. There are some good games in here too, to make learning fun. I also like the way the book can be purchased - either as individual units or as termly books. I didn't get the CD-ROM to review but if it's as thorough as the book it will be a sound investment. Leigh Smith, TES Review Bank
