 National Geographic Atlas of the World, by National Geographic Society, U.S.
Flip through the pages of this impressive book and you will feel as though the world is literally at your fingertips. Full- page spreads are devoted to more than 75 political and physical maps (political maps show borders; physical maps show mountains, water, valleys, and vegetation). There are many new touches to be found in this edition, including increased usage of satellite images, an especially helpful feature when researching the most remote regions of the earth; more than 50 updated political maps that record the impact of wars, revolutions, treaties, elections, and other events; and the use of the latest research on topics such as tectonics, oceanography, climate, and natural resources.

|  Earth from Above, by Yann Arthus-Bertrand, Sophie Bessis, David Baker (Translator)
Ecology, a science scarcely a century old, aims to give its practitioners an approach to understanding how whole natural systems--for example, watersheds, deserts, and estuaries--work. Few books translate this aim as well as Earth from Above, a stunning collection of photographs that affords its viewers a window into the world's workings.
|  Mapping The World By Heart, by David J. Smith
Can your students draw detailed maps without an atlas? They can now! Perform a miracle with Mapping the World by Heart. It's a complete and proven approach to teaching geography. Recommended for home school or the class room.
|  The Geography Coloring Book (2nd Edition), by Wynn Kapit
The Geography Coloring Book provides unique hands-on participation in the study of geography. Detailed color exercises allow the "artist" to recognize countries by shape as well as location, gain a sense of the relative sizes of nations and states, and visualize the location of a nation within the context of its continent.

|  Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies, by Jared Diamond
Explaining what William McNeill called The Rise of the West has become the central problem in the study of global history. In Guns, Germs, and Steel Jared Diamond presents the biologist's answer: geography, demography, and ecological happenstance. Diamond evenhandedly reviews human history on every continent since the Ice Age at a rate that emphasizes only the broadest movements of peoples and ideas. Yet his survey is binocular: one eye has the rather distant vision of the evolutionary biologist, while the other eye--and his heart--belongs to the people of New Guinea, where he has done field work for more than 30 years.
