Bruce: Books Review: Nice resource for geography. - Great educator resource. Review: Fabulous maps and ok to copy - These are super. For my project it would be nice if they were all the same scale size and could be used to fit together but they offer outline, very detailed and basic detailed ones of each map. I do question why in Oceania view Australia did not show the territory lines as it shows states and Canadian territories on North America. But these are fantastic maps and freely reproducible. I used then to color in where I've traveled (thus the scale comment) and I like the ones with the country name and Capitol over the very detailed ones. THESE WOULD BE GREAT FOR TEACHING, says the former teacher.

Coloring book and geo-political map resource
I use this book partly as a general atlas and partly to learn the political geography of a specific country in relation to others. There are pages with state/country borders and names, others without names, and others with just outlines of the same land mass--great learning tool! Gel pens work to color these pages--bright colors and no bleeding.

Clear maps, multiple levels of detail, perfect for teaching.
This book offers three options for each set of maps: A map with capital and other major cities labeled, a map with only country names, and a blank map. This flexibility makes it a perfect resource for teaching at gradually more challenging levels. I actually purchased two identical books, so I could tear out pages from one for easier copying for our homeschooling lessons.

Everyone needs this book
It is the best teaching tool for anyone who wants to learn world geography. I loved coloring all the maps. The fact is you can even photocopy the pages. I think this book belongs in every school. We live in a connected world. While I love home in the USA having traveled I know it is not the only place with culture and customs worthy of study. If everyone put some effort into learning about the world we world all be better off. I happen to be 71 and I bought it for other friends in their 60's and 70's.

Adult Brain Puzzles. Good design makes it easy to quiz yourself.
I bought this for myself, to keep my brain "sharp". So far, I haven't done as much with it as I planned, as I wanted to study every continent--but, I now know all the countries in Africa and can find/label them on a map. And I'm working on learning their capitals, too. I think it's important to know enough World Geography to be able to follow the news, and so many people I know don't have that basic knowledge. This makes it fun to learn and easy to quiz myself, as I can make as many photocopies as I need, and compare my answers to the labeled maps included in the book. Eventually, I'll tackle other continents, but Africa was it's own accomplishment. Do you know how many countries there are in Africa? Take a wild guess. ;)

Good maps
These r very simple, very easy to read maps. The unlabeled maps pair with the labeled ones. I bought them for me, an adult, because my ignorance of europe is profound except for france and the uk, and i have looked up nations so frequently that ive actually learned all the names in the news. This book would be a welcome addition to any classroom.

Great!
Our son is very into world geography! He was having my husband print out maps that he could color, so I thought, why not look for a world coloring book, knowing it would be more cost effective than printing them all out. We found this, and it suited all our wants and needs and then some!

Perfect condition. Lightweight, not bulky. Nice variety of maps. Some labeled, some left blank to help with different learning techniques. I also bought an atlas to go along with this book for reference and labeling.

This is a useful book as a learning tool. Double copies of most outline maps are produced, and can easily be scanned or copied The versions offered are continent focused maps which are named and with boundaries drawn in; continent focused maps with boundaries, but the countries/regions are un-named, and continent outlines only so the student will need to draw in all countries themselves. World maps in both Mercator and Robinson Projections; Europe Global Projection; North America Global Projection The Continent and Regional Maps. each with 2 copies each of the 3 versions detailed in paragraph 2 are : Africa; Antarctic Region; Australia, Oceania; Australia; Southeast Asia; Asia; Russia; Central America and the Caribbean; Central America; Europe; Europe to the Ural Mountains; Middle East; Middle East Close-up; North America; South America; Latin America; Southeast Asia to Australia; Eastern Europe; Eastern Europe - Baltic Region; Scandinavia; Mediterranean Sea Region; United States of America; Canada As can be inferred from the above, there is a Eurocentric bias, which may not suit everyone, but it is exactly what I wanted for a project, which my huge, weighty and expensive glossy world atlas books, one by Phillips ( a historical atlas) and one by Collins don't satisfy. It is the simplicity and very basic outline quality of borders which makes this work
