Thinking Geographically A Guide to the Core Concepts for Teachers

"Thinking Geographically - A Guide to the Core Concepts for Teachers provides exactly what the title suggests. It is a lucid, authoritative, meticulously researched, systematic guide to 'Geographical Thinking' and its essential conceptual components. Its author, Alaric Maude, should be congratulated for providing Geography teachers with a vital, handy, resource that is a valuable contribution to geographical education. Thinking Geographically is highly recommended for your geographical library."

An excerpt from a review by Stephen Legg, Interaction Journal, Vol 52, No.1, March 2024

"This book has been an excellent resource when thinking more deeply about the concepts within our curriculum; Maude breaks down each concept, ... [and] also provides a summary and a 'how could you use this chapter in teaching?' box, which has been particularly useful to refer to.

Our A level students often struggle to use the concepts of space and time throughout their essays. Alongside other strategies, [the chapters on space, and scale and time] were used to break down these two concepts into smaller chunks for the students, and to give them some ideas of how they can be applied. Students found this useful; essays are beginning to improve and concepts are woven throughout as a result."
