A recent educational survey ranked American students fourth among eight industrialized nations in knowledge of geography. In a sample of American students tested, more than 1 in 5 couldn't locate the US on a world map. This book is designed to encourage geographic literacy among students and includes the use of globes and maps to identify points of interest, calculate distances and compare how population, animal life, vegetation and minerals are distributed among continents. Students also learn to draw maps to indicate the location of rivers, mountains, lakes, dams and canals. This book is designed to teach children a knowledge of geography while helping to develop an interest in world cultures, anthropology and current events.
