A quick-reference guide especially designed for students grades 5 & up, conveniently designed for 3-ring binders. This geographical guide puts the world at your fingertips with an up-to-date look at political boundaries and physical features, with full-color maps. Features special sections on River Lengths, United States Facts, Time Zones in the U.S., and standardized time in places throughout the world. The papers are full of dire reports concerning America's youth and their level of geographic savvy.

The Notebook Atlas is three-hole punched for easy notebook insertion, and for a thin, light volume it's very complete, with 48 full-color maps and charts of the longitude and latitude of the world's countries and major cities.
