N2  - "Exploring Physical Geography promotes inquiry and science as an active process. It encourages student curiosity and aims to activate existing student knowledge. One way this is done is by employing a learning-cycle approach where students' exploration precedes the introduction of geographic terms and the application of knowledge to a new situation. Another method used is to ensure every concept is covered within two pages allowing students to complete a topic in a short interval of time. This text also contains a wealth of figures to take advantage of the visual and spatial nature of geography and the efficiency of conveying geographic concepts."-- Provided by Publisher
