Editorial Reviews

Review

“...a valuable tool that has been properly researched and provides numerous references at the end of each chapter. Geography teachers and media specialists will appreciate the varied Internet resources that the authors have compiled. A must-read professional resource for high school and college teachers. Recommended.”–The Book Report

“The lesson plans are well designed and quite appropriate for the intended grades. Although the book was written for both school librarians and geography teachers at the junior high and high school level, other librarians and educators will find the book informative and useful as well.”–Science Books & Films

“...this book deserves to find a wide audience comprised of all those interested in geographic education, geography teacher preparation, and teaching geography with the Internet.”–The Professional Geographer
