I find writing education textbooks hard - but I do enjoy the challenge.
Today, I finally got my hands on a hard copy of my latest book Exploring People and Place (Level 4). It is the follow up to the Level 3 book that we published this time last year. Both books have been designed and written to support the learners understand the experiences and outcomes of Scotland new curriculum.
The main sections are:
- Coasts
- Tsunamis
- Water (including a good section on the bottled water industry)
- Food and Agriculture (A nice picture of some cooked guinea pigs on page 32)
- More about Scotland (follow up from Level 3 book)
- Weather
- Globalization (including mobile phone in Ghana, Film Crews in Dominica and laptops in Portugal)
- Climate Change
Take a ‘look inside’ on Amazon if your interested.
I have to confess and say my geography knowledge is rubbish, perhaps I should read this book! I love the 'Activate your brain cells' lesson ideas.

Thanks Alan - we worked hard to try and create something that is very much a 'text book' but contains lts of quirky activities, ideas and ICT activities to encourage teachers to start doing things in different ways. It is definitely a step up from the Level 3 Book.
