  This revised course is designed to help your students develop the abilities required to achieve exam success for the new WJEC GCSE Geography Specification B.

  - Provides case studies of real places at different scales and at different levels of development
  - Extends students' learning and helps them to research geography in greater depth with 'Going Further' information and activities
