Books 31,32 and 33 now available

All now published... and here are some of my author copies.

Feel free to purchase large quantities if you are teaching iGCSE Geography.

Pleased to say these are now taking me into my 30s in terms of books published that I had a part in.

 Another one is already due out later in the year - one has been delayed - and I'm now working on 9 more.

Latest book

Editor copies of my latest book project project - my 32nd book that I've been involved with - written by Becky Kitchen of the GA arrived this week. 

They accompany the Student Book for iGCSE in the same series, and a Teacher Guide will be arriving shortly.

The book costs £12.99

New iGCSe textbook - author copies arrived

Good to see this arrive, and put it on the shelves of the GeoLibrary. 

Well, it was over a year ago that we started work on the 4th edition of the Collins textbook to support the teaching of the updated Cambridge iGCSE Geography specification (0460). I worked with an excellent authoring team - who stepped up early on when it was reduced from the original size.

Over the weekend, author copies of the book finally arrived. It's always good to have the physical object in your hands. 

The cover is a little 'minimalist' for my liking but is the style used for a range of books for other subjects published by Collins.

There were a lot of people involved in the production of the book including the author team who stepped up when we lost two authors early in the process. There have been many hundreds of hours of working on edits and updates and several drafts and proofs. 

The textbook will be accompanied by a Teacher Guide and a Workbook.

These are due to be published in April I believe. They are printed in the UK on responsibly sourced paper using vegetable-based inks.

It covers the new iGCSE Specification (and related qualifications) and has been approved by Cambridge University Press and Assessment as meeting the requirements of the Cambridge Pathway. This is important as it ensures that the book fully covers the specification and assessment requirements.

Feel free to order an inspection copy or one to have on your shelves even if you aren't teaching this qualification / specification. And if you ARE teaching it, then you obviously need to purchase large quantities of the books. The Workbooks look particularly nice and very useful to support learners.

The book is published by Collins (in 2025 of course)

iGCSE Geography - 4th edition textbook now available to order

A project that I've been involved in for over a year will finally see the light of day soon and the first of the three books has just become available and ready for ordering from the Collins website.

It's the 4th edition of a textbook for the newly updated iGCSE Geography specification. 

I was involved with the first edition while working for the Geographical Association.

Along with this student book - the 4th edition, written for the new Cambridge iGCSE Geography specification, there is also a Teacher's Guide, which contains lesson plans and extra resources, plus answers for all the questions in the book.

There is also a Workbook which has been written by Becky Kitchen. This contains extra work on iGCSE Skills along with exam style questions and other activities.

These other two books will be out in April.

I'm proud to have worked as a Series Editor on the three books in the series.

Special thanks to my fellow authors John Rutter, Rob Bircher, Becky Kitchen and my colleague Claire Kyndt.

Thanks also to Cathy, Roisin, Letitia and particularly Lucy from Collins, and others involved in copy editing and design. It's been a team effort.

Thanks also to Cambridge for their prompt and helpful feedback.

I'm looking forward to seeing the first hard copies.

If you're at the GA Conference in April, go and see the Collins stand in the exhibition space and take a look - I shall be there on the Wednesday afternoon.
