Description
A resource you’ll want to pull out often! Whether using as a reference or reading just for fun, this engaging atlas is a wealth of information! Includes over 100 maps (physical, political, and thematic) with colorful pictures, diagrams, graphs, and interesting text to deepen a student’s understanding of world geography. The first section in the book is lengthy, covering the basic tools needed to understand maps and globes (types of maps, different projections, latitude and longitude, hemispheres, legend and symbols, geographic terms, etc.), before diving deeper. Continents are presented individually, but the United States and its regions are covered more in-depth than others. 208 pgs, pb. ~Nancie
