In my opinion this is "hands down" the very best beginner's World atlas I have ever seen。 The presentation of material is so exceptionally well organized and laid out that the flow of information should readily entrench itself into the mind of the young child that has the grand opportunity to have one of these。It begins with the very basic concept of translating our spherical world into a flat visual map and then comprehending that though flat in appearance it truly represents our round Earth。 T In my opinion this is "hands down" the very best beginner's World atlas I have ever seen。 The presentation of material is so exceptionally well organized and laid out that the flow of information should readily entrench itself into the mind of the young child that has the grand opportunity to have one of these。It begins with the very basic concept of translating our spherical world into a flat visual map and then comprehending that though flat in appearance it truly represents our round Earth。 The the reader learns what a map "is" and what this Atlas book will teach the reader。 The separation of the physical world and its map from that of the political world and its map is concisely explained with illustrations that deftly and beautifully correlate with the concept。Next the reader sees the book is separated into continents with the material showing the continent's map， factoids about the area， a bit of history， and current images particular to that continent。Beautifully done and I highly recommend。I received a complimentary copy to facilitate this review of my own opinions， freely given。 。。。more
