Gr 3–7—Opening with a geological history of the earth, this comprehensive and colorful world atlas devotes a section to each continent. An additional section looks at the oceans. A variety of maps are featured: physical and political, as well as those highlighting population, climate, and landmarks. Information about the different continents and countries (longest coastline, longest bridge) is included. The well-drawn maps are complemented by attractive photographs and solid, clearly presented material. Maps depicting continents in all black, with dazzling sparkles of light to depict populous areas, are a particularly intriguing addition.
VERDICT While this volume is certainly extremely useful for students writing reports, browsers will also enjoy perusing the fascinating tidbits interspersed throughout.–Margaret Nunes, Gwinnett County Public Library, GA
