People and Places (Geography for Fun)

A practical look at how geography works round us. This new series of six titles takes young geographers on a hands-on exploration of familiar environments, and encourages an understanding of the forces that shape our wider world. Step-by-step projects aimed at enhancing children's knowledge of physical and social geography are accompanied by simple text and colourful illustrations and photographs. PEOPLE AND PLACES looks at where and how people live, and how their surroundings affect their lives. Simple fun projects illustrate how people move from place to place and what kinds of homes they inhabit. Readers are encouraged to carry out a litter survey, find out what everyday things are made from, and make a country scrapbook.
