ABSTRACT

Geography is a resource-rich subject. Few if any other subjects taught in schools command and demand the use of such a rich variety of resources, in terms of both type of resource and range of geographical content. Failing to make full use of this range is to fail to take advantage of one of the key attractions that the subject has to offer. The aim of this chapter is to outline the range and sources of geographical resources, but also to raise issues relating to how these resources can be evaluated and used. Examples of resources are provided as illustration; they are not intended to form a definitive list of what is available.
