About
the
Series
Mapping
Our World
introduces students to maps and teaches essential
mapping skills.
The series explores the major landforms, along with the sky
and cities, to explain how to use and interpret maps and why maps are important.
Each book features an opening spread that identifies the features on a
map—including the scale, key, compass rose, and lines of latitude and
longitude—and how to use them.
These highly visual books include
a variety of maps, from topographical maps to road maps to nautical charts. Each
book also features specific examples of how a map was made or used, as well as
activities to reinforce the information given in the text.
