The Reader's Digest Children's Atlas of the World has been conceived to meet the needs of children living in today's increasingly information-rich world. Its combination of sophisticated cartography, stunning artwork and authoritative yet accessible text has resulted in the most exciting, comprehensive and lavishly illustrated children's atlas available today.
Dramatic, visually stimulating thematic pages explain important geographical concepts, ranging from the structure of Earth to the world's environmental problems and the links between geography and politics. More than 50 detailed maps incorporating digital relief mapping and the latest geographical and political data cover every corner of the globe. Thousands of dynamic illustrations act as a visual counterpoint to the informative text; up-to-the-minute statistics, amazing facts, lively captions and fun projects help the young reader gain a deeper understanding of the world's diversity. This fully revised third edition includes more than 1,500 updated facts and statistics, including the most recent population figures. A new map -- The Power of Politics -- graphically reviews the world's hotspots. New borders, new countries, new names -- they are all here in this ultimate resource for fun and study, at home and at school. The Reader's Digest Children's Atlas of the World was prepared by an international team of cartographers, geographers, writers, editors, designers and illustrators.
