دانلود کتاب زمین پویا ما – یک پرایمر

A primer is a readable introduction to a subject, more technical than a piece of popular science, but less detailed than a textbook. It aims to give the reader a platform in a subject with which they may be unfamiliar, so that they can proceed simultaneously, or sequentially, to more advanced texts and information. Ideally the primer should have something for those without any knowledge, while also challenge and entertain those who do. Not quite bedtime reading, but a step in that direction. I have for many years taught an undergraduate physical geography unit at Bournemouth catering for students with different backgrounds. Some have never done geography since their early teens, while others have done it more recently. This range of backgrounds can be challenging, and this primer was conceived to help with this diversity of knowledge. Unlike a textbook, it is meant to be read sequentially from the first to last page and is not a substitute for more traditional textbooks, but a compliment to them. The primer was first written in the summer of 2020 as a positive outcome of the Covid-19 pandemic with the aim of helping students through the trials of remote teaching during lockdown. It is based on the syllabus that I teach, which is no doubt similar to many introductory physical geography units, but there will be some differences, and it is hard to be inclusive of all subjects in a manageable text. If I have missed something out you consider vital, then let me know and I will correct it in a future edition. Along the way, there are various tasks and suggestions for additional reading which can be ignored or used as prompts to make extra notes or delve into the research literature. I hope that you find this primer of use.
