The best college. :p:

The course is pretty good, some bits are better than others; just depends what you like best. It also depends a bit on the quality of the lecturer.

Just out of curiosity can anyone tell me the names of some human geography books (or any books for that matter) that are on their reading lists for Cambridge? Thanks very much.

Page 3, I'd especially say the David Harvey and Thrift human books and the Chorley physical geography.

I don't think I would recommend Harvey's 'condition of postmodernity' to a post a-level student, it is quite advanced.
I read the gregory et al 'human geography, society, space and social science, The Johnston book is well worth checking out for an intro to the discipline.

Don't read anything for physical because it is crap. Go out and enjoy the sunshine instead.

This is infact fantastic advice about physical geaography and being made to read David Harvey is sometihing everyone should go through.

being 'made'?

The Condition of Post-Modernity would be a great shock to an A-Level student, but then again most Uni student's wouldn't probably understand it particularly well.

I am happy that its on the list tho - excellent book.

Physical is evil - good thats sorted.
