Philip''s RGS Essential School Atlas has been specially created for lower-secondary geography students (11-14 year olds). The maps have been carefully designed to be uncluttered and easy to read, containing specially selected place names and detail. A clear set of symbols and scale information accompanies every map, with a useful introductory section covering basic atlas skills, including aerial photographs and satellite images to further explain particular features on the maps. Latitude and longitude co-ordinates are included in the index, alongside figure-letter references.
Fully up-to-date, the atlas includes detailed regional maps, charts and satellite images of Europe, Italy, the Middle East, China, Japan, Kenya, USA, Brazil, and the Arctic and Antarctica. It also focuses on areas of special interest for students of geography, such as Japan''s volcanoes and earthquakes, and conservation in Kenya.
Philip''s RGS Essential School Atlas is ideal for special project work and is available in both hardback and paperback editions.
