 Maps: Conceptual and Current May 9, 2008
You often want a current map that you can easily reproduce, draw upon, color, scan or modify. The news talks about unfamiliar countries every day and you vaguely recall where this or that is. This Atlas is similar to the biology coloring books and is extremely handy for use in the office, schools or refrigerator. Geographers like maps. Where people may communicate verbally or in text, geographers often feel more comfortable once an area has been identified graphically. From a printed map we can internalize the information and carry a mental map with us, and always be able to come back to the printed map. "Just show me the map and I will know what you are talking about" is a common phrase and is exactly why television news media make use of GoogleEarth photomaps every day. We are visually creatures who just want a simple representation of what we are referring to. This is a valuable resource for K-18 schools, business, churches and reference. I use mine almost every week.

I am about to contact this company about this book.
What is the point of having an Atlas with incorrect information in it.
They have Cyprus as being in Asia....Did someone move it without telling us?
I have been to Cyprus 3 times and I can assure you that it is in Europe.
It makes me wonder how many other mistakes are in this book.
Very Thorough Geography October 1, 2007
We use this book for our homeschooling and find it very thorough. It discusses geography in detail and illustrates geographical features very nicely.

It's amazing what you can learn by coloring maps. Lots of good geographical terminology along with excellent maps to color and learn from.
Another Great Resource. September 24, 2007
I've been a seventh grade teacher for 10 years and I still enjoy using these books as a resource in my classroom. Students learn the information through attention to detail and find uses for their completed materials in projects throughout the year.
