The Kingfisher Student
Atlas is designed specially to meet the needs of school-age
children. The clear layout and color locator maps make
it exceptionally easy for them to find more than 10,000
place names, or to quickly locate countries and their
associated geographic, physical, and background information.
This wide-ranging atlas begins
by examining Earth"s place in the solar system
and includes thematic maps showing climate, vegetation,
and population. The main atlas section is organized
by continent and includes world physical and political
maps. Each continent is introduced by a physical relief
map, followed by regional maps showing individual countries
and regions in greater detail.
The accompanying Mac and PC compatible
CD-ROM includes maps that can be printed and used for
projects or just for fun, making this an essential modern
atlas for home and school.
