Recent Publications in and Relevant to Geographical Education

Abstract

During the past two years many books have been published in English on geographical education.  Some of these are directly on geography and its curriculum, teaching, learning, resources and policy matters, aimed at teachers, teacher educators and researchers. Other publications which inform the wider frame of geography education include books on environmental education, education for sustainability, social studies education, outdoor education, cartography education, textbooks, the geography of education, and children’s geographies.

You may know of English language books either about or likely to be of interest to geography educators that I have missed. If you do, please let me know about them. You can contact me via my email address: [e-mail].

It helps to let me have the full reference for a book: author(s)/editor(s), year of publication, title, place of publication and publisher. I will be most grateful to hear from you.

RIGEO publishes book reviews but has not yet been able to do so in each issue. We aim to review books on and relevant to geography education. Our intention is to include at least one review in each of the three annual issues of RIGEO.

We are looking for reviewers. You may be able to help us.

Our approach is usually to invite a reviewer to review a particular book, aware that she or he may well have access to that book. Unfortunately, we are not in a position to provide copies of books for review, so we depend on reviewers having or obtaining the book they review. If there is a book in the list that you wish to review, please get in touch with me via my email address above. So that you have some idea about what is required, there is guidance about the form of review we will consider following the book list below.
