About the Book

All A-level geography specifications require students to undertake investigative research based on evidence from primary sources (including fieldwork) and secondary sources. The examination boards assess this investigative work by requiring you to write about it in a written examination. AS/A-Level Geography Investigative & Research Skills& Techniques has been completely updated to fulfil the demands of the new AS/A-level geography specifications. The book is aimed at all AS/A-level geography students. It is divided into two sections. The first section covers in detail the processes by which a geographical investigation can be completed as an independent piece of work. The second examines the alternative ways in which fieldwork-based and practical questions are set by the three major examination boards in England, and how they should be answered, with accompanying examiner's comments. The authors, both experienced examiners, are aware that students find the investigative process one of the most challenging aspects of their course. In these pages, they offer a detailed, step-by-step guide to enable you to keep on the right track for success.
