Nature is seldom so simple and tractable; instead, it has many different dimensions. This is particularly true of geographical environment because its subject matter includes many complexities, inter-related concepts and phenomenon involving several heads of organisation. To obtain an overview of modern geographical environment, a student needs to assimilate a great many ideas. Ideally, a reader would knew everything in the present work before beginning to read it. The present work is aimed to bring together and in simple way the fundamentals of geographical science and environment with special emphasis on the modern viewpoint of the science. The potential scope of this branch is very great and no attempt of any exhaustive treatment of the subject is made here. Salient features: Geological environment. Polar environment : issues and challenges. Freshwater environment. Marine environment – I & II.
