GEOGRAPHY BOOKS
Classic Landforms of the Sussex Coast
[first ed 1982, second ed 1996]
I
wrote this guide to make explanations of landforms accessible even to the
general reader. I had the (perhaps naïve) idea that if only people could
understand how the landscape originated and was continuing to evolve at the
present time they would enjoy, appreciate and value it more. I think the guide
has been found more useful in schools and universities, where it has helped
Geography students and teachers. The second edition is an updated, expanded and
generally more attractive edition with Ordnance Survey map extracts and colour
illustrations.
Out in the Cold: Ideas on
Glaciation. Roedean Resources. 1998
An up-to-date
guide to glacial processes and landforms for British A Level students. Some
traditional concepts and assumptions are challenged and refuted in the light of
modern research results. More up-to-date alternative explanations are offered.
The aim of the book is to provide students and teachers with material that will
give them access to the highest grades in A Level Geography. It was recommended
by Edexcel examiners.
The English Lake District . Roedean
Resources. 1998
A regional case
study designed for British A Level students and teachers, dealing with geology,
climate, landforms, ecology and human impact.
The
Sussex Coast: Land, Sea and the Geography of Hope.
Blatchington Press. 2013.
The
Sussex Coast has attracted people for thousands of years – for
foraging,
fishing, trade and defence, and more recently for retirement and
leisure.
Some settlements are destroyed as the sea advances, while
others
are stranded as it retreats. Living on the coast can be exciting –
and risky.
Now
that nearly a million people live on the Sussex coast, the
problems
of managing the shoreline have become acute. This book is
essential
reading for all who love the Sussex coast, are curious about its
past
and concerned about its future.
Using a
landscape history approach, The Sussex
Coast draws on the
research
results of several disciplines, including the latest findings on
coastal
processes, to tell the story of the long-unfolding trialogue among
people,
land and sea.
Reviews:
What a
book! . . . To have written such a work is a tremendous feat – to
have a
copy will be a privilege. Peter Harris
(The Downsman)
The
book shows a clear feeling for the coast of this county. . . While he
questions
the wisdom of near shore dredging to replenish beaches and for
construction
aggregate, this is an optimistic book and was clearly a
pleasure
to write. Recommended! John Lonergan (East Sussex
Geological Society)
