In this eye-opening illustrated edition of the international bestseller Prisoners of Geography , you’ll learn to spot connections between geography and world affairs in ways you never noticed before. How did the US’s rivers help it become a superpower? Why are harsh, cold and swampy Siberia and the Russian Far East two of that country’s most prized regions? How come Japan prefers to trade along the coasts instead of across its land? What do the Himalayas have to do with war? With colorful maps that capture every continent and region, plus hundreds of illustrations that illuminate how our surroundings shape us, this one-of-a-kind atlas will inspire curious minds of all ages! Review: Great for kids and adults! - Our son loves history and geography, asks us a hundred different geopolitical questions a day.. and he’s 8! I’ve had my eye on this book for awhile now but when he started asking questions I knew this book touched on, I decided it was time to order and I’m so glad I did! He absolutely loves the book! It is incredibly interesting, looks amazing (the illustrators did a terrific job), and the best part is that we’re all learning while enjoying a good book! So many questions he’s had are answered in it and he will just sit and read a few pages that interest him or look at the maps and walk away with even more knowledge to impress others with. We homeschool so it’s a great resource but anyone could get something from this book. Can’t recommend enough! Review: Muy bueno - Love it!
