World Thematic Maps" consist of eleven global maps covering climate, rainfall, temperatures, prevailing winds, ocean currents, vegetation, land use, population, racial distribution, languages, and religions--presenting a global view of human activity. Flags and Review of Nations" groups flags of the world according to continents, with the illustration of the flag placed close to the country of origin." For children of all ages--and their parents--who could benefit from a colorful " crash course" --or " refresher" --in geography, and an enjoyable and informative guide to a greater understanding of the world around them.
