What follows is ostensibly a review of a book called Signposts for Geography Teaching, edited by Rex Walford, and published by the Longman Group (1981) at £4.50. It should be stated, however, that the latitude usually accorded to reviews has, in this instance, been strained beyond the norm. In other words, this review is so highly selective and idiosyncratic that it hardly warrants the term, “review”, at all.
In some ways this was inevitable. The book is 222 pages long, and contains over 30 different contributions. It covers many of the questions in geographical education which are presently thought to be ‘important’, together with numerous accounts of every geographer’s favourite topic: whither geography? The area covered is therefore enormous.
