内容説明
This educational tool introduces the countries of the world and the states of the United States to students. Through active participation - colouring the maps - students should gain a broader understanding of the material and retain more information. The text is divided into sections, each dealing with a separate continent and containing a political map, a physical map and regional maps of individual countries grouped according to region. Basic facts are covered including: size, populations, government, language, climate and culture. Information, unique qualities, and current events related to individual countries appear on the page opposite the map for easy reference.
Book Description
The previous problems with paper quality (second edition) have been corrected for this new edition.
The book is hand-drawn and lettered in the same coloring format that the author used in the highly innovative Anatomy Coloring Book which, over the past 26 years, has sold well over three million copies in this country alone. These coloring books are able to make learning an enjoyable experience.
Among the new features and information included in the third edition are the use of bold textual headings and the presence of introductory pages, visually summarizing the contents of each section, all of which make the book even easier to use and reference.
All of the material to be coloredcontinents, national and state boundaries, mountain ranges, rivers, geographic regions, historic empires, national flags, etc.are accompanied by brief, factual, informative, and often fascinating descriptions; making the process of coloring all the more meaningful and memorable.
Appearing on the plates of nations to be colored are diagrams of various U.S. states of comparative size, aiding the reader in the comprehension and retention of scale and distances.
Eight early land empires (including the currently relevant two Islamic empires) are drawn superimposed over contemporary maps. By coloring them lightly, one is able to distinguish underneath the names and boundaries of the modern nations that bear their historic influence.
A global perspective can be gained by coloring the pages of thematic maps. Each map deals with a single subject: world climate regions, annual rainfall, regional temperature, prevailing winds, major ocean currents, natural vegetation regions, major use of land, population distribution, racial distribution, major official languages, and the major religions of the world.
Similarities in flag design of various countries can be observed when coloring flags grouped together according to geographic proximity, and seeing those flags, placed close to their countries on maps of their respective continents.
The positions of continentspast, present, and projected futureare colored along with their zones of earthquake and volcanic activity.
At the back of the book is an extensive index that doubles as a geographical dictionary, defining and identifying the location of each entry. This index/dictionary also serves as dual-function quiz when either the list of entries or the adjacent list of definitions is concealed from view.

Excellent Educational Material
2006/2/24
形式:ペーパーバック
This is an excellent coloring book! It has a wealth of information about all of the countries of the world. Although this was written for a 5th or 6th grade level, this coloring book could be appropriate for children as young as 4 or 5 to begin to introduce them to world geography. There are supplemental maps in the back of the book which are designed to help identify major empires throughout the ages (e.g. Ottoman Empire) which can be very helpful for students of history in addition to students of geography. The section containing country flags was also a great resource.

have used it as ateaching tool at the post secondary level
1998/12/1
形式:ペーパーバック
I first began using this text at Tompkins-Cortland Community College in 1992. Most of my students used the book in the two Geography class that were required in the AAS program for travel and Tourism. Since moving to North Carolina I still use it in the courses that I teach in the Raleigh area. Students find the text a joy to use and it helps with their understanding of the political and physical areas of the subject. Since most students do not have formal Geographic training it is one of the best tools that thay have for self study. Many use the text in the travel industry after they enter the job market. The price is also very affordable. Just a great book. I have at least four myself. Even my wife the Geography hater loves this publication.

Great way to learn Geography
1999/9/22
形式:ペーパーバック
I have taught geography for more than ten years and this is a fun and useful way to introduce new countries as well as concepts like place, direction and distance. I also recommend a great book for teachers and parents to read called Geographical Literacy. Incrediable new ideas for teaching kids the rudiments of geography. Check it out at Amazon.
