Discover the people, places, environments, and physical features that make each part of Earth different. The Geography collection gives students a wide-ranging introduction to world geography, United States geography, cultures, maps, landforms, bodies of water, weather, climate, natural events, and the tools people use to understand our planet.
Readers can explore continents, countries, regions, oceans, rivers, deserts, mountains, forests, polar regions, and other environments. Books introduce places throughout North America, South America, Europe, Africa, Asia, Australia, Oceania, the Arctic, and Antarctica. Students can learn where places are located while also examining the people, customs, foods, beliefs, and traditions associated with different regions.
Map skills form another important part of the collection. Titles cover cardinal and intermediate directions, map reading, geographic tools, globes, coordinates, and the development of navigation methods such as GPS.
Physical geography books explain rivers, watersheds, landforms, ecosystems, weather systems, earthquakes, volcanoes, hurricanes, tornadoes, tsunamis, and other features or events that shape Earth. Students can also study the geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and biosphere and examine how natural systems interact.
The collection includes books about exploration, archaeology, ancient civilizations, regional cultures, environmental change, and the ways humans interact with their surroundings.
Suitable for students across PK-12, with extensive elementary and middle-grade coverage, these titles can support geography, Earth science, social studies, cultural studies, and research projects. Younger learners can begin by identifying places and basic geographic features. Older students can examine climate, cultures, physical processes, human activity, and relationships between people and their environments.
