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.
