Student World Atlas (3rd edtition) with CD ROM
Collins Student World Atlas has been specifically designed
for students aged 14-16 years, however its well-researched
uncluttered design makes it suitable for all students.
This
third edition has been extensively revised, updated and
extended to include a dictionary of geographical terms.
It features up-to-date reference and thematic mapping, mapping
skills, country-by-country statistics and a fully comprehensive
index to all names appearing on reference maps.
Thematic
maps and accompanying graphs and tables adhere strictly
to the National Curriculum guidelines and cover topics such
as Tourism, Telecommunications, Environmental and socio-economic
topics. All maps have been fully updated using the latest
statistical information available. The inclusion of a selective
list of web addresses on each thematic page ensures students
are motivated to explore more deeply into a topic.
High
quality satellite imagery, which has been selectively used
within special topic or study areas, supports data on the
maps and is used to illustrate key environmental issues.
Extensive
lists of statistics for demographic and socio-economic facts
provide up-to-date data for students wishing to create their
own graphs to support individual geography, tourism, mathematics,
economics or IT projects.
Included
in this edition is a CD-ROM which introduces the subject
of GIS, now a topic included in the Geography curriculum.
The CD is produced in association ESRI, who design and develop
the world's leading geographic information system (GIS)
technology. It gives a broad overview of the importance
of GIS and its use in everyday life by environmental agencies,
the military, the police, emergency services, supermarkets
etc. Data and ESRI software included on the CD can be used
by students to carry out exercises and activities contained
