Books for Geography 1 & 2
Assalam-o-alaikum!
Besides the books mentioned in previous posts, I would like to recommend the following two books for Geography I & II : 1. Physical Geography by Deblij. 2. Human Geography by Deblij. The former is a comprehensive book,covering most of the syllabus of Paper 1 The later is also very helpful; though it doesn't cover the syllabus, still it helps one in clearing one's concepts on certain topics. I prepared Geography from these 2 books. ALLAH HAFIZ! A.J. |
Assalam-o-Alikum.
Dear Friends i would like to add a weblink besides these books.As you know physical geography is more conceptual than committing to memory so images and in depth info are very helpful to prepare for this one. [url]http://www.geology.com[/url] I have found this site very interesting and informative that will be helpful for you not only in geography but also in G.K paper.It has enough info to quench your thirst of knowledge. Wish you all the best. Gladiator |
[B]there is a book "comprehensive geography" by "M Jahangir Sanpal". it mostly comprises imitated fragmantory pieces on different topics by foreign authors.
you may call it a summary of css course and it helps quite a lot in having a peripheral conceptual base regarding any intricate and complex topic. all topics regarding paper 1 and 2 are given in the book in the same sequence in which they are given in the css course outline.....[/B] |
one can use Goh chen long
for human geography as well. recommended to me bya teacher. SIR!!!!!!!!! CAN YOU GIVE US THE SITES FROM WHEE WE CAN UPDATE THE DATA FOR GEO II? POPULATION FIGURES AND CROP PRODUCTIONS etc Thanx does someone know a book which contains the solved objective for GEOI and GEOII of previous papers? |
[QUOTE]does someone know a book which contains the solved objective for GEOI and GEOII of previous papers?[/QUOTE]
Exam Cram by Jahangir Exam Cram series.................... |
Here i wana add something which would help those who r intrested in Geogrpahy. the book by DAS GUPTA & A.N. KAPOOR is full of so many basic errors 7 i m afraid it may lead u to many misconcepts. so better nt to read that for ur paper. i have had a complete study of that book & i reckon that is simply nt enough for ur css. be everybody happy.

[B]Books on Geography [/B]
1) Physical Geography by A.Strahler 2) Human geography by Deblij 3) A Geography of Pakistan by Huma Naz Sethi More Books at the following link [B]Books for optional subjects[/B] [URL="http://www.cssforum.com.pk/central-superior-services-examination/beginners-guide/11723-books-optional-subjects.html"]http://www.cssforum.com.pk/central-s...-subjects.html[/URL] A useful post courtesy[B] [URL="http://www.cssforum.com.pk/members/amubarak.html"]amubarak[/URL][/B] posted at [B][URL="http://www.cssforum.com.pk/central-superior-services-examination/css-optional-subjects/group-d/21452-help-required-geography.html"]this[/URL][/B] link [QUOTE=amubarak][I]Get top "20 Questions of Geography" of Exam Cram Series published by Jehangir Book Depot. It will cover a lot of topics both for paper I and II. Also there is this other book of physical geography that is absolutely a delight to study: Certificate Physical and Human Geography by Goh Cheng Leong published by oxford university press. But I am not sure about its availibility. Stahler's physcial geography is not the end. If you dont like it, search for other options available in the market. But make sure you prepare all the 40 questions (20 for each paper) given in the exam cram series. It will guarantee a good paper.[/I][/QUOTE] The book by Sarfaraz Bajwa is also recommended for Paper I, you can rely on that. wait for some seniors to drop in the thread, may be they can provide you the notes as well.

E book for geography
AoA everyone
i found this book on net...i guess it will be helpful for all of us preparing for geography.. [url]http://www.civilserviceindia.com/subject/General-Studies/free-books/Geography.html[/url] |
want to add one thing
please dont rely on books only...some times they might not be sufficient ..although they could be good books...example..pirated book on human geography by blij shows climate map...the chapter refers the map at the end and you cant relate it to what ever has been written in book because the map in the book is in black and white and also it is not clear...
so..for the moment [url]http://www.boqueteweather.com/images/world_climate_map.jpg[/url] but please put some effort and try to know more about your subject... regards khurram hameed |
I also bought Sarfaraz Ahmed Bajwa's book but would it be enough or should I also buy Stahler or Deblij.
|
Dear,
Sarfraz bajwa book on geography is enough, if you able yourself to get a grip over it. I dont think you should go and consult other books. You need to focus on quality material and get complete hold over it. |

Exam Cram Series by Jehangir Publishers
Aslam o alaikum,
Try consulting the updated version of Exam Cram Series "To the Point Geography" Its a very comprehensive book that covers both the objective and the subjective portion of the paper |

Leopard has stated rightly, i have yet to see the updated version of Jehangir Exam Cram but i prepared the 2nd Paper, Top 20 Qs published by Jehangir book depot Lhr and also consulted some topics from books authored by Fazal Karim Khan and Huma Naz Sethi. |
For the Geography Paper I, would following books be enough?
[U]1 - Physical Geography by Deblij 2 - Sarfraz Bajwa's Book[/U] Dear members, please recommend best books for Geography Paper II. |
I have the older edition of Exam cram series and haven't yet seen the newer edition,would it be enough because it only has 20 questions plus what should one do with regional geography?
|
Three Books for two papers
Following three books are enough
i. Physical Geography by Strahler ii. Human Geography by DeBlij iii. A geography of Pakistan by Kureshy, K.U. |
economic geo by fazle karim is a recommended one for paper II and dont go 4 exam cram series 20 questions. material is not up to that mark rather u shuld go for exam cram to the point . bt that one is also used to consult for few questions of paper B bcz most of answer given are not according to requirment. even these exam cram books of geography has taken material mostly from fazle karim and certificate physical geo book by gou chang leong.
commercial geography by fazle karim is good 4 paper B. certificate physical goography by gou chang leong also have some material regarding paper B. further sum units from a book named "pakistan, peoples,and economy" as unit 3,4,11,13 and that book is also best 4 objective portion regional geography can be done from any book of regional geography bt most authenticated are of foreign writers as regional geography by de blij or u can use net source for its preparation |
Geo II Book
What is the exact title of Fazle Karim's book recommended for GEO II?
Of O Level or Intermediate? |
thanks
PS I know about thanks button but posted here to get this thread in my user cp |

Geography books
Dear!
For geography 1 Physical Geography by Sarfraz Bajwa For geography 2 Physical, human and regional Geography by Jehangir Sanpal Geography of Pakistan by Fazl e Karim Khan (Note: These books are recommended by a DMG CSP) Regards, |
@ Arsalan
thank you brother for your reply.....and what about mcqs and maps??secondly u didnt mention any book of foreign author.....will these books fulfill my quinch for 150 marks?? |
Geography books
Dear Khan!
MCQs can be attempted easily if one has a good command over theory. And for paper 1 in my opinion Bajwa's book is enough as it has put all the syllabus of CSS in one book including many excerpts from recommended books. For paper 2, you can study recommended books if you have time, but to get an understanding you can study Sanpal book as it is a compete book covering whole syllabus of geography paper 1 and paper 2 for CSS exam. Regards, |
@ Arsalan
dear bro thank u so much for your feed back....bit relax now......just 2 more ques......will that book for paper B b enough???? as paper B contain human,commercial etc geography......how to approach paper B......and second ques.is in the syllabus a chapter of maps is mentioned....how and from where to study that.........even in the paper it is mentioned to draw maps where it is required......tu ye wale maps kahan se parhne parein ge???

Geography books
Dear Khan!
As far as your first question is concerned, I would say that Sanpal's book covers the syllabus part but keeping in view the current trend of geography papers one should be multi-dimentional and be able to relate things. Also paper 2 requires updated facts and figures related to demography which you should search on the internet and update it on Sanpal's book. Now we come to your second question, for maps section in paper 1, Bajwa's book would suffice. Wish you all the best! Regards, |
