Geoff Dinkele

Geoff Dinkele was associated with the Worldwise Quiz for many years and supported the GA in several other ways as well.

He wrote quite a few books which were popular, and sold well. "Population Geography" published in 1980 was among his books.

He also co-wrote an article in 'Classroom Geographer' journal with another former President: Steve Rawlinson on the use of lego to make population pyramids.

Geoff also contributed a number of articles to 'Teaching Geography', such as this one from 1983 which explored a TV programme made by David Bellamy.
