Scientific Principles for Physical Geographers Summary

Scientific Principles for Physical Geographers by Ian Bradbury

Science for Geography and Environment introduces students (and academics who need to brush up their knowledge!) to scientific principles in a lively and accessible way, allowing them to proceed through the text at their own pace. The book is structured thematically with a logical development of key topics, all linked by a comprehensive cross-referencing system. Concepts and principles will be grounded in everyday experience and exemplified by reference to geographical/environmental processes. The authors are also testing each stage of the text on their own students, thereby ensuring that student needs are given top priority in the book's development.
Lively and relevant introduction to those scientific principles necessary to understand key processes occuring within the natural environment.
