What topics to cover from Strahler???

Pseudoidealist · #1 Saturday, July 28, 2012

Hello.

Could someone please tell me which chapters do i need to cover from Strahler' physical geography? Please note that I have never studied geography before and therefore it is really difficult for me to identify the chapters which form part of the syllabus for the exam-I hope not the entire book since it is almost impossible to cover in a month or two!

Impatiently waiting for response from some senior so that I could start with my preparation. Any help shall find my heartiest gratitude.

P.S: Could you also tell if it is possible to cover the entire geography syllabus in two months? I can't devote more time than this.
