Gee, I Need Geography!


It's true. Most students today -- heck, most people -- are challenged by geography. Where their street is on a city map, where their country is on a world map, how geography affects politics and culture, how geography defines our local and global economy, etc. etc.

That's why we've developed a new series, Thinking Critically About Geography. We've started out with three titles, focusing on 1) United States, Canada, and Greenland; 2) South America; and 3) The Middle East. Each is jam-packed with maps, lessons, key vocabulary, hints for how to read the maps, and so on. And each coems with a CD-ROM that has all of the contents on an easy-to-use PDF.


The Middle East title is particularly exciting, given how central that region is to our nation's future. Lots of maps and critiques that help you understand how and why the different countries relate to one another and the world at large. Need more info?
