Another above-par undegrad intro to methods for geographers in training

This book, along with its counter part, KEY CONCEPTS IN GEOGRAPHY, would be my first choice for undergrad geography majors, whether emphasizing cultural, physical or both. As I said in another review, the Brits seem to have it together when creating digestable material for their students of geography. Highly recommended as supplements to the standard physical and cultural geography textbooks used in the U.S.
