About the author

Clive Searle was a former Head of Geography at a large comprehensive school in Bolton. He has taught Geography at GCSE and A level for over twenty five Years.

“Having decided on the OCR  specification A, Geographical Themes, for our Geography department teaching the new GCSE, we quickly realised that there was a shortage of material to support this specification. “Why don’t you write a revision guide?” a friend suggested, “You’ll enjoy the challenge.”

"So I took up the challenge and these two books are the outcome. At our school in north Bolton we used the books as both a classroom textbook resource and a revision guide for the students. To encourage students to get their own copies, I have tried to keep the discount price to schools as low as possible for a small independent publisher.

"We are currently working on the website to support the books, including model answers and multiple choice questions. I hope that you will choose to add these books to your department’s resources for teaching Geographical Themes.”
