| Summary | The course will address global themes in geography at the interface between human and natural systems and will compliment the methodological overview and framework offered in the related third year core course ?The Nature of Geographical Knowledge?. This third year core course will illustrate the complex inter linkages between the ?human? and ?physical? world. The course will therefore be of interest to both physical and human geographers. This global themes course is designed to explicitly link to the fourth year core course ?Visions of Geography? so enhancing progression in the curriculum. |
