More than 80 world maps use dynamic graphic representations to show not only where things are, but also help readers understand why they are there and what they are like.
The atlas’s six main topic areas are physical geography, human geography, the biosphere, history, world cultures, and the technosphere. Some specific sample topics: Where are the world’s billionaires? The most damaging invasive species? Shipping lanes? Castles? Holy places? Each map is packed with facts, stats, and graphics that provide additional context and stimulate interest. Intended for grades 2–7, the atlas is an instructive delight for curious readers of all ages.
