Physical Geography



Theme of The Book Physical Geography comprises of Geomorphology, Climatology, and Oceanography and Bio Environmental Geography. The Book is a must for students preparing Physical Geography optional Section of the syllabus of the Union Civil Services as well as State PCS for Civil Services.
The basic intention of this book is to provide all needed information which the UPSC aspirants require, with all modern day content, illustrations and presentations to help to visualize the concepts in a better manner, add realism to the subject and to further the interest of the students. The book is made in such a manner that there can not be a second book like this. In terms of quality, the facts have been cross checked, the compilation mind blowing and the language very solid, like the way it should be. The Book is a must for students preparing Physical Geography optional Section of the syllabus of the Union Civil Services as well as State PCS for Civil Services .
The idea is to make it matchless either content wise, concept wise language wise, illustration wise or design wise.
It is one of those books that you DONT READ, BUT YOU WATCH, interact with the videos on the chapter and keep upgrading yourself automatically through notification.
