Description

The must-have Back to School Atlas for Year 6 Fully revised and updated, this is an ideal world reference atlas for young primary school geographers aged 8-11 years (Key stage 2). Published in association with the Geographical Association, it enables children to learn about the world today and understand how maps and atlases work. * The atlas is organised into sections covering the UK, Europe, the world and continents with more detailed larger scale maps of countries and regions popular for focus studies. * It includes topics such as climate, population, migration, trade and environmental issues. * Topographical based mapping helps the young geographer understand the processes which take place during the formation of the earth's landscapes. * The reference mapping is designed for maximum clarity and accessibility, and is supported by photographs and data boxes, with detailed map keys and scale information on each map. * Specially selected topic maps give additional information linking to knowledge and understanding of distant places. * Tables of key world country data include an Ecological Footprint figure for each country.
