This is a beautifully illustrated and fun geography book for students of all ages. I got it for homeschooling some of my children. Now that they are all gone from home, I've gotten rid of most of our books and teaching aids. Some books I have hung onto just because I want to read/refer to them again and again myself. This one is a keepter that I've not yet been able to part with. I know I would have loved this geography book, with it's fascinating presentation of geographical facts, had it been available when I was in school. I've found all the Usborne books to be well written and illustrated.
I'm using this book to supplement a homeschool geography course. Great maps and cultural information. My kids are looking forward to geography this year.
The Usborne encyclopedias are the best. Very informative, great pictures and graphics. These encyclopedias hold all our attentions! Don't buy just 1.
Instead of five stars I would rate it eleven ! Easily readable (no small print) . Illustrations throughout, from the beginning of the Universe to the Present ! DVL
This is a great book, and has a section of everything we could need. It is just so packed with information and is a great starting point for further studies.
