Description

For introductory courses in Geography.

This unique educational tool introduces the countries of the world and the states of the United States to students. Each section begins with a plate containing a political map, a physical map, and regional maps. Through active participation, by coloring in countries, rivers, regions, etc. (and their respective names), students gain a broader understanding of the material and retain more information. A highly effective, but also enjoyable, way to learn.


Features

  • NEW - Functional and aesthetic improvements throughout—Includes the use of new, non-colorable font for chapter and subject headings, and revised presentation of the World Thematic Maps spreads.

    • Provides visually dynamic identification of the material, as well as distinguishes the headings from the balloon titles to be colored in.

  • Succinct, informative, and often fascinating text or captions—Accompanies all illustrations to be colored.

    • Relates, wherever possible, the information to current events, and provides students with material that enhances their understanding of historical and current events.

  • Geographical Dictionary—Each entry is followed by a brief explanation.

    • Identifies the subject, describes its location, and often includes a significant fact.

  • Systematic organization of maps according to Region—With each Region introduced by a political map and a physical map of the continent.

    • Lends itself to a systematic study of the world, as well as enables students to go directly to any place of interest.

    • Aids in recognizing countries by shape as well as location, and gaining a sense of the relative sizes of nations and states.

    • Assists in visualizing the location of a nation in the context of its continent; knowing the names of the capitals and major cities; and identifying and locating important rivers, mountain ranges, and bodies of water.

  • World Thematic Maps—Includes eleven global maps covering climate, rainfall, temperatures, prevailing winds, ocean currents, vegetation, land use, population, racial distribution, languages, and religions.

    • Presents students with a “global” view of human activity.

  • Flags and review of nations—Groups flags of the world according to continents, with the illustration of the flag placed close to the country of origin.

    • Allows students to not only learn about the flags of each nation, but see certain similarities between flags of nations located physically close to each other, or which share a cultural or religious background.

  • Eight historic land empires—Including the two Islamic, presented with an extensive history of their rise and fall.

    • Asks students to color a historic empire superimposed over a modern-day map of the region, in order to provide them with an understanding of why nations have the cultures, languages, and religions that they do.

  • Pertinent data about each state or country, plus fascinating facts of historic, geographic, political, or economic nature. These facts are often related to today's headlines.
  • Physical maps of each continent, illustrating the major rivers, mountain ranges, mountain peaks, and specific land regions.
  • Visual comparisons of size among the countries themselves, as well as to the various states of the United States.
  • Maps, covering larger areas, provide the reader with a bigger picture regarding the location of the country or region under consideration.
  • Maps describing the, transformation of the former Soviet Union into fifteen separate nations, and the former Yugoslavia into five new nations.
  • Thematic maps of the world describing weather, vegetation, ocean currents, prevailing winds, population, racial distribution, religions, and languages.
  • Flags of the world are shown organized according to the geographic locations of their countries of origin.
  • Past and future movement of continents over millions of years, plus the location of earthquake and volcano zones.
