With the internet rapidly expanding, it is good to find a book which will cut the amount of searching to find the information you are looking for. Web Links for Geography has 23 pages of Web Links for Geography and Society and Environment, sorted by topic, which will make it easier and faster for all users to get the information they want. The book has an advice and sample activities section to help those not confident with using the web, with useful screen prints of what the user would see. With each web address there is a brief description about the web site and what to expect when you go there. Web Links for Geography is for both teachers and students with easy to find research information, classroom ideas and lesson plans, graphic images and software to download.
A disk is included in Web Links for Geography with easy to follow installation instructions so that the links listed in the book are also on the computer. This makes it easier to access the sites. With a simple click on the address, the Web browser opens up and goes directly to the address, eliminating the need to type the site address which reduces the chances of making errors.
I found this to be a useful resource for searching the Internet to access the latest information, and at the time of reviewing Web Links for Geography I found all web addresses to be error free and up to date.
Web Links for Geography can be purchased from Paul Pledger with payment made to:
