Industry Reviews

The methods discussed in this book are designed to engage students to examine how geography has help to shape space and time. The authors continue to turn out relative and unique inquiry based learning methods. This book is a must for anyone who is teaching the Social Studies. -- Joseph Zingone, president/chairman ATSS/UFT
Mark Newman and Jack Zevin, both historians, have devoted their distinguished careers to teacher education and curriculum development in the social studies. Committed to the inquiry method of teaching and learning, they have long advocated that geography, as "an integral part of our everyday life," serve as a core discipline in our nation's schools. This book will help teachers find effective ways to "formalize our connection to geography" by presenting a host of suggestions organized according to the five fundamental themes of geography. The additional chapters on the development of map skills and travel compared to migration are alone worth the price of admission, useful ways to start discussions about upgrading the role of geography in the social studies curriculum. -- Gerald A. Danzer, professor of History Emeritus, University of Illinois at Chicago
