If you thought Geography was just about maps & capital cities, well think again!

Geography is about our world and is part of everyday life:

• Why do people live near volcanoes?
• Is life always better in the city?
• When will the next hurricane strike?
• Why don't some people have enough food?
• Why does Havant need a reservoir ?
• Will the South Downs be made a National Park?
• Why do people prefer the Dominican to Denmead?
• What's wrong with McDonalds?
• Who is to blame for global warming?
• Why are they building more new houses?
• Why are footballs made in Pakistan ?

Geography is exciting, modern, relevant, important, mysterious and necessary (and it's not just Mrs.West that thinks this!) check out these other Geographers...
