Atlas of World Geography

Rand McNally's Atlas of World Geography provides engaging and richly illustrated geographic information for high school students. This atlas contains the same information as their Know Geography^TM World Atlas currently going out of print.

Thematic maps, graphs and charts help present a more complete portrait of our physical and political world.

Recommended for upper middle and high school students, this atlas can serve as a companion to classroom materials, as a stand-alone study guide, or as a general home reference!

• Updated countries sections including flag, capital city, area, and population
• 85 pages of detailed physical and political maps
• 35 pages of human and physical world geography maps, graphs, charts, including information on plate tectonics, climate, environments, population, and economics
• Special continent sections exploring landforms, land cover and use, climate, and continent-specific issues and current events

In addition to 176 pages of up-to-date, accurate, and thoughtfully selected regional maps, the atlas features an expanded, highly illustrative world information section which includes 12 pages of answers to over 200 of the world's most-asked geography questions. We love the close-up map details and many thematic maps! Continent maps span several pages of instead of only one page. Uses Goode's World Atlas maps.

If you are looking for Answer Atlas, get this one instead. Answer Atlas is out of print, but inside the covers this is the same atlas.

This atlas is used for the high school trail in the Trail Guide to World Geography, as well as for the high school level "Conquering the Continents" course in The Ultimate Geography and Timeline Guide.

Please note:  Know Geography 9-12 is the same inside as Atlas of World Geography. You may receive either book. Except for the cover, there is no difference between the two books.
