Description:
With the dawn of the new millennium, the earth is changing more rapidly than ever--politically, environmentally, socially, and physically. Dorling Kindersley rises to the occasion with a beautiful revised and updated children's atlas, filled to bursting with more than 50 innovative three-dimensional computer-generated maps, informative text, and over 1,000 stellar photographs, illustrations, and diagrams. The maps are organized by continent. Each section opens with a large, double-page spread introducing readers to the physical geography of the continent. Then the continent is divided by country or group of countries, with a focus on human geography. Finally a glossary and index provide additional information about place names and facts about each country. Entertaining features reveal fascinating tidbits about various regions and peoples: Did you know that Lake Baikal in Russia contains 20 percent of the world's fresh water? Or that sheep in New Zealand have the right of way and outnumber people 20 to 1? Vivid, large-scale maps reveal the world more accurately and clearly than ever before. This is a resource to keep close at hand for school projects, travel dreaming, or just the curious mind. (Ages 9 and older) --Emilie Coulter
