The Times Comprehensive Atlas of the World (Times Atlas)

Product Information

Get ready to travel worldwide with the 5th edition of National Geographic Kids Beginner’s World Atlas, the complete atlas for young adventurers looking to learn more about the incredible planet we inhabit. Buttressed by engaging prose and vivid graphics, Erik Millstone and Tim Lang convincingly argue that human progress depends on resolving global inequality and creating a more sustainable food production system.

From the tallest waterfall to the deepest belowground city, the most giant primate to the smelliest flower, this adventure can’t be beaten. Through the labyrinths of Berlin and Beijing – underground realms dug for refuge, espionage and even, as Canada’s Moose Jaw, used as the playground for gangsters trading liquor and money over cards. The symbols can be fairly hard to tell apart once they’re surrounded by the very busy maps, especially for someone with presbyopic eyes like myself. They’re all circles or squares with dots in them: more differentiation in shapes would be helpful.)
