Numerous facts are shared in this interesting resource book for learning about the world’s physical and human systems through photographs

This really is a beautiful reference source for learning about our world. I loved the introductory pages on "Learning about maps". I liked how it began with our earth in space and moved into the Physical systems of the world and then the Human systems. I found the facts and figures page at the start of each continent fascinating. ( )

The cover, photos, captions, maps, tables, charts, and graphs are all very appealing, colorful, and well organized. The Table of Contents is color coded, which makes the navigation of this atlas very kid-friendly. I found looking through this atlas quite interesting. Unfortunately, stats presented in the world population section, will soon become outdated and the atlases will need to be replaced in a few years. Apparently there is an online version, but, what would be the point then of having the print version? ( )
