Geography of the World: The Essential Family Guide To Geography
And Culture
Dorling Kindersley 2005
This illustrated guide combines maps, photographs, charts, and illustrations
to bring facts about physical and human geography to life. The information
is organized in six continental sections and a reference section.
Full colored maps, produced by digital imagery, with details about
each country's physical geography, its people, and its important
sites, are provided.
Explanations are given for how the landscape or climate of each
region has shaped the area's development. Topics include agriculture
and industry, ethnic groups, everyday life, food, and recent history.
Fact boxes provide at-a-glance access to key facts such as population,
currency, language, and literacy rate. Facts, dates, statistics,
a comprehensive gazetteer, glossary, and an index complete the classroom
resource.
a "superb and highly recommended school and community library
resource suitable for all ages." - Midwest Book Review, Oregon
