I bought this as a Christmas present for a map-loving church student of mine. I guess that maybe I didn't pay close enough attention to the style of the book when I ordered it, because when it arrived, I was dismayed to find that it wasn't exclusive to map reading and functioned more as a text book from school. Among topics it covers are orienteering and reading weather and oceanography maps.

However, my intended recipiant was more than thrilled to receive the book. He said that he's studying the same stuff at school and he loves it. He could hardly put it down in order to go through the church service. It was engaging and insightful, he said, and that's saying a lot coming from a kid who's ADD and hates to read. I recommend this product.

This is an excellent book for Geography teachers. I will be teaching multiple ideas from this book without any thought process on my part. One of the best teacher lesson plan books I have EVER seen!

This book was selected for a resource for my 6th grade class. It has great information for teaching or learning about the various components of geography. Examples: Map skills, maps, and landforms.

A wealth of hands on activities. Really like that the index links activities with countries.

I ordered this for my grand daughter that is entering a geography bee. It is very educational and would be great for everyone that wants to learn more about geography.
