climate, rainfall, temperatures, prevailing winds, ocean
currents, vegetation, land use, population, racial distribution,
languages, and religions—presenting a «global»
view of human activity. Flags and Review of Nations

the illustration of the flag placed close to the country
of origin. For children of all ages—and their
parents—who could benefit from a colorful “crash
course”—or “refresher”—in
geography, and an enjoyable and informative guide to
a greater understanding of the world around them.
