This book is a goldmine for my study of geography。 It is a wonderful resource to return to again and again。 There is also a section with the flags of every nation at the end of the book for my continued study of flags。

Okay， so there are two Jeopardy！ connections here。First and foremost: late last year， I finally read a book that had been knocking around my Audible queue for literally four years。 Ken Jennings' Maphead made me realize that I never took geography in school， and that I literally had no idea about places and the things that shaped them。 It had never seemed important to me as a suburban kid who was never going to go anywhere。 And now， here I am at 44， a world traveler who goes places but still does Okay， so there are two Jeopardy！ connections here。First and foremost: late last year， I finally read a book that had been knocking around my Audible queue for literally four years。 Ken Jennings' Maphead made me realize that I never took geography in school， and that I literally had no idea about places and the things that shaped them。 It had never seemed important to me as a suburban kid who was never going to go anywhere。 And now， here I am at 44， a world traveler who goes places but still doesn't know places。 So I made up my mind to learn more about the world I live in in 2020。Which brings us to James Holtzhauer， the other major Jeopardy！ winner。 When asked how he crams so much trivia into his brain， he responded， "I read kids' books of facts。" It makes sense。 Grownup atlases and stuff sometimes assume you want stodgy lists of facts and figures。 Kids' books， desperate to make you remember the things you need to remember， put all those facts in colorful boxes on glossy paper。 I think it helps you digest this stuff more easily。My friend Marty got me this National Geographic Student World Atlas for Christmas， and I've spent the last few weeks poring over its facts and figures before sleepytime。 And man， was it worth it: the maps taught me topography， political borders， weird stuff like how some countries have two capitals - one cultural and one administrative。 There was a really neat illustration of where all the manned stations on Antarctica are。 I learned a lot about Oceania， which is SORT OF part of Australia， but not really？ And that， though politically Hawai'i is part of the US， geographically it's part of Oceania。 Who knew？I honestly don't know how much I retained。 I want to learn， but I also want to enjoy what I'm doing。 I'm willing to read anything fun and see what sticks on its own。 This was step one （well， two; I read that book of maps last year and I couldn't discern most of the factoids because the book used a lot of similar colors and I'm all colorblind）。 On the hunt for more stuff like this！ （I read atlases now。 I've always been a nerd but whoa。） 。。。more

The National Geographic Student World Atlas is perfect for kids， parents and teachers who need a great reference guide。There are plenty of maps and visual guides to our world inside these pages。 Readers will see the alignment of the planets that are in earth’s solar system， and can even see how earth rotates causing season changes。 Although most of us may use Google maps to navigate from one city to the next， kids will learn how to read an actual map and even learn about latitude， longitude and The National Geographic Student World Atlas is perfect for kids， parents and teachers who need a great reference guide。There are plenty of maps and visual guides to our world inside these pages。 Readers will see the alignment of the planets that are in earth’s solar system， and can even see how earth rotates causing season changes。 Although most of us may use Google maps to navigate from one city to the next， kids will learn how to read an actual map and even learn about latitude， longitude and the global grid。Time zones， earth’s geologic history and earth’s land and water features can be found inside this guide too。 The worlds countries， languages and various cultures are an interesting part of how we all live and exist on this planet。 Maps share seasons， climates， animal and plant life。 The back pages host flags of countries and interesting facts， abbreviations and even a metric conversion table。Parents and teachers will want this guide for their library。 Kids can get information quick。 There are over 100 maps and 70 colorful photos along with 50 charts and graphs to help learners find answers and understand terms。 。。。more

I could look at maps all day long and be perfectly content。 There's something about looking at the topography/temperature/demographic information in a map format that just makes me deliriously happy。 Of course， looking at a map of time zones is also super intriguing。 So， when I was asked to review National Geographic Kids' newest book， "Student World Atlas，" of course I agreed！Read the rest of my review here: http://agoodreid。blogspot。com/2019/09。。。 I could look at maps all day long and be perfectly content。 There's something about looking at the topography/temperature/demographic information in a map format that just makes me deliriously happy。 Of course， looking at a map of time zones is also super intriguing。 So， when I was asked to review National Geographic Kids' newest book， "Student World Atlas，" of course I agreed！Read the rest of my review here: http://agoodreid。blogspot。com/2019/09。。。 。。。more

As our World continues to grow smaller and smaller because man is able to traverse it easily even to some of the most remote areas， it becomes more and more imperative that World citizens from a very early age imbue themselves with the logistics as well as the principal features that make up each part and particel of it。National Geographic Kids does an absolutely fabulous work of presenting World Atlases for various ages covering the basics as well as providing insights into features of each co As our World continues to grow smaller and smaller because man is able to traverse it easily even to some of the most remote areas， it becomes more and more imperative that World citizens from a very early age imbue themselves with the logistics as well as the principal features that make up each part and particel of it。National Geographic Kids does an absolutely fabulous work of presenting World Atlases for various ages covering the basics as well as providing insights into features of each continent and their physical， political， and human aspects。Early in the Student World Atlas 5th Ed the book is separated in several categories:>>Learning about maps>>Physical systems>>Human systemThese encompass many planetary facts and ideas and economics aspects about our World as a whole。 The book is then separated by Continents with each examined in the areas of:Physical & political mapsClimate & PrecipitationPopulation & Predominant EconomiesFocus on a specific aspect of that continentI find the book so full of interesting information that I am tempted to sit for read and browse for hours。 I am excited to see this book and others similar placed in the hands of our younger generation enabling them to learn about our World。What a gem to have on hand to facilitate discussion of areas to which we have traveled and those to which we look forward to visiting in the future。 I highly recommend。I received a complimentary copy to facilitate a review of my own opinions， freely given。 。。。more

This atlas is full of amazing maps and information！ It's got pictures and factoids and terrain and history， all with colorful lines and photos and interesting little details。 I like how the book is divided up by continent。 It makes it easy to find what you are looking for， and to see how countries that border each other have a lot in common。 It has maps that compare the economics， life expectancy， refugee statistics， climate and precipitation， and population of the various countries in each cont This atlas is full of amazing maps and information！ It's got pictures and factoids and terrain and history， all with colorful lines and photos and interesting little details。 I like how the book is divided up by continent。 It makes it easy to find what you are looking for， and to see how countries that border each other have a lot in common。 It has maps that compare the economics， life expectancy， refugee statistics， climate and precipitation， and population of the various countries in each continent and region。There are maps showing the most prevalent languages on earth， the biggest cities， the most culturally diverse areas， the central religions， how the world grows and exports food， energy， and mineral resources。 There is even a map showing the different types of world maps， and how a globe can get distorted by being projected onto a flat surface。This book does a great job of packing a lot of information into each page without losing clarity or making the page feel jumbled。 Because it's a paperback， it's lightweight and perfect for little backpacks。Disclaimer: I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for a free and honest review。 All the opinions stated here are my own true thoughts and are not influenced by anyone。 。。。more
