Synopsis

The Making Sense series offers clear, concise guides to research and writing for students at all levels of undergraduate study. The volumes in the Making Sense series-covering humanities courses, the social sciences, life sciences, and engineering-are intended for students in any undergraduate course with a research and writing component, but they are especially appropriate for those at the first-year level.

Revisions to the fifth edition of Making Sense in Geography and Environmental Sciences: A Student's Guide to Research and Writing include updates to Chapter 2, 'Searching and Researching,' and new information on conducting research, evaluating sources, and integrating the material into written work. Dates and examples have been updated throughout the text, as have coverage of citations, sourcing materials from the internet, and plagiarism and references. Finally, the new edition features a mini-index, outlining the most common research and writing issues, on the inside front cover for quick and easy reference.
