Publisher's Synopsis
From a one-room apartment to an entire continent, maps help us make sense of the world. The four titles in this new geography series address the range of map skills students need to master, from understanding a map key to using a compass rose to reading street, political, and physical maps. In each title, students have the opportunity to learn about a variety of maps, from small-scale to world maps. Each book also uses map skills to examine the differences between various cultures.
