Description
Classical Conversations' Exploring the World through Cartography is a visually rich exploration of the world through maps. The introduction explains different types of map projections as well as a brief history of cartography. Organized by continent/region, each unit begins with a list of questions to research and answer. Full-color physical and political maps are included along with blank outline maps to use for tracing, drawing, and tests. Regional sections discuss history, people, politics, how geography influenced the region's development, and other interesting facts alongside historical maps and photos of artwork, artifacts, and people. Integrating history, art, geography, cultural studies, and geography, this unique text is a fascinating way to study the earth!
