This World Atlas has been designed with Kids in mind by the team at National Geographic Magazine. Summary of the Book This new and updated version of the best-selling National Geographic World Atlas brings readers up to speed with the latest and most important changes all over the world. The book has been drafted with the assistance of some of the most prominent names in cartography, and gives readers all the information they could ever desire on nation borders, place names, and geographical formations all around the world. Kids will learn how to compare and contrast physical and political maps early on, since the magazine presents both in the same size. They will also learn how geography affects patterns in human settlement and economy. Features such as locator globes and colour coding help kids in swiftly navigating between the regions and remembering where they are. This is the book for all kids who want to learn about the world that we live on and how big and wonderful it really is.
