Geography from A to Z: A Picture Glossary

Have you ever wondered what a badland is? What about a gulch? Do you wonder what an isthmus is? Or a seamount? What about the difference between a plateau and a plain, or a knob and a knoll? Well, here are the answers!

The sixty-three entries from A to Z describe the earth's features -- its physical geography -- from the highest mountain peak to the deepest ocean trench, in clear, concise terms. Each entry is beautifully illustrated in full color.

This is a perfect introduction to the dramatic and fascinating face of the vast world around us. The author and artist of the best-selling MAPS & GLOBES team up again, this time to prove that geography can indeed be an adventure.

When my social studies class gets to the geography part of our curriculum would be great to use in the lesson. It shows a lot of amazing pictures depicting each definition, I believe this would help the kids remember and make connections about the lesson. I could go over a few for a warm up every class time.

An excellent book that illustrates and describes common geographical terms for elementary age students (and older).
