Publisher's Synopsis
For the first time, a children¿s atlas that shows the planet in the round. Brilliant photographs show the globe flattened, drained, sliced and cored, so you can understand all its natural manifestations from tidal waves to earthquakes. Different countries are shown in superbly modelled relief, and complex earth-science theories are explained in easy text supported by drawings and art work. An exciting and original new concept with maps generated by the team that created the award winning Mountain High Maps.
