Great book for undergrads and graduate students alike!

I have used several of these chapters in both undergrad and grad classes, in everything from statistics, to GIS, to human geography, to land use. All around great book! Apparently this comes out of a push in the U.K. to write upper division geography textbooks. I wish we had such a push here in the U.S. (and that it was lucrative). Some of the topics are Britain-specific, so it takes a bit more work to explain the context to undergrad students. The idea that geographers should have some sort of "capstone" course at the end of the BA/BS degree to review and synthesize what they have learned, and apply to real world, policy relevant problems (e.g., interpretations of census data) is a good way to go, in my opinion. I also like the divisions: debates, key issues, the discipline itself. Very useful! Anyone who reads this book should have no problem thoughtfully and compellingly answering the question: what do geographers do?
