Development of a tropical storm - cross section (UEB Uncontracted)
This page shows a tropical storm in cross section (cut through vertically and seen from the side). There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. The diagram has a dashed line image border. In the middle of the page there are arrows pointing down, and to either side of these the cross section through the clouds can be found. Going across the bottom of the page is a textured area representing the sea. The straight arrows in the middle of the page represent the flow of air down into the clear 'eye' of the storm system. To either side are textured areas of cloud. Within these textured areas, wiggly arrows show water vapour rising through the cloud from the sea. Rain is shown falling from the cloud to the sea at the bottom of the page. Three horizontal arrows, pointing right, can be found on the left of the page just above the sea. Three similar arrows, pointing left, can be found just above the sea on the right of the page. These all show airflow into the storm system.
Development of a tropical storm - map (Large Print)
This diagram shows the development of a tropical storm, in map view (seen from above). There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. The image is surrounded by an image border. Most of the border is filled with a texture representing the sea. To the left of the page are descriptive labels and to the right a textured object shaped roughly like a ring doughnut. At the bottom left of the page, just above a label, are two arrows pointing to the left, indicating the direction of travel of the storm system. The right hand portion of the page shows the ring-shaped storm system with the clear 'eye' at its centre. It is surrounded by arrows showing the anti-clockwise (in the northern hemisphere) rotational direction of the system.

Teaching Geography in Primary Schools: Learning to Live in the World (PDF)
by Fran MartinThis is a book for people who do not think they are geographers. It is for teachers who struggle to find relevance for geography in the curriculum, and for whom it is not clear how to transform geographical knowledge into activities that are meaningful to our children and will generate a real excitement for the subject. The over-riding purpose of this book is to identify the geographical dimensions of our everyday experiences, and to provide some frameworks for this knowledge that will help us as teachers of primary geography.

Global Shift: Mapping the Changing Contours of the World Economy (PDF)
by Peter DickenThis sixth edition of Global Shift has been completely revised and updated using the latest available sources. Each chapter has been extensively rewritten and new chapters introduced to take account of recent empirical developments, new ideas on production, distribution, and consumption in the global economy and the implications of the global financial crisis. The now standard work on economic globalization provides: the most comprehensive and up-to-date explanation of economic globalization available, examining the role of transnational corporations, states, labour, consumers, and organizations in civil society and the power relations between them a clear guide to how the global economy is being transformed through the operation of global production networks involving transnational corporations, states and interest groups and technology detailed discussion of different theories of economic globalization a new chapter on the environmental impacts of globalizing processes extended discussion of problems and institutions of global governance in the context of the global economic crisis and of the role of corporate social responsibility broadened sectoral case studies including a new case study on resource-extractive industries an extended chapter on financial and advanced business services. The extensive use of graphics, lack of jargon and clear definition of terms, makes Global Shift the key resource on economic globalization in the social science literature.
Politics and Practice in Economic Geography (PDF)
by Jamie Peck Trevor Barnes Adam Tickell Eric Sheppard'Fortunately, to the benefit of students young and old, the reflexive ruminations contained between these covers are fresh, penetrating, honest, personal and, at times, poignant. They are sure to stimulate a long-overdue reawakening of interest in methodological choice and its consequences in economic geography. In doing so, the contributors to this volume have performed an incredibly valuable service on behalf of economic geographers everywhere' - Professor Meric S. Gertler, University of Toronto, Canada. 'The biggest strength of the book is its pedagogic design, which will appeal to new entrants in the field but also leaves space for methodological debates. It is well suited for use on general courses but it also involves far more than an introduction and is full of theoretical insights for a more theoretically advanced audience' - Economic Geography Research Group. In the last fifteen years economic geography has experienced a number of fundamental theoretical and methodological shifts. Politics and Practice in Economic Geography explains and interrogates these fundamental issues of research practice in the discipline. Concerned with examining the methodological challenges associated with that 'cultural turn', the text explains and discusses: qualitative and ethnographic methodologies; the role and significance of quantitative and numerical methods; the methodological implications of both post-structural and feminist theories; the use of case-study approaches; the methodological relation between the economic geography other disciplines like neoclassical economics, economic sociology, and economic anthropology. Leading contributors examine substantive methodological issues in economic geography and make a distinctive contribution to economic-geographical debate and practice. This will be an essential primer for all students of economic geography, as well as human geography more generally.

Geographies of Nature: Societies, Environments, Ecologies (PDF)
by Steve Hinchliffe'Steve Hinchliffe has produced an exemplary introduction to cutting edge work on the geographies of nature. Intellectually demanding, clearly written and empirically rich, this is a book that deserves a wide readership within and beyond the Geographical discipline' - Sarah J. Whatmore, Professor of Environment and Public Policy, Director International Graduate School, Oxford University Centre for the Environment. Geographies of Nature introduces readers to conventional understandings of nature - realist, environmental, constructivist - while examining alternative accounts from different disciplines - where nature resists easy classification. Accessibly written, organized in 10 chapters in two sections, Geographies of Nature demonstrates how recent thinking has urgent relevance and impact on the ways in which we approach environmental problems. The text: nbsp; makes concepts like 'environment', 'conservation', and 'sustainability' accessible and applicable to readers' own experience with the extensive use of case studiesnbsp; uses text boxes to introduce readers to debates and ideas in ways that make them more easily understoodnbsp; grounds the reader and proceeds to the explanation of more complex arguments progressively. Geographies of Nature presents a new kind of environmental analysis, one that refuses to view nature as wholly separate to the human and nonhuman practices through which it is constantly made and remade.
