Description

Rich in information and clear in presentation, this atlas’s ten chronological units each cover a major era. After a “How Does This Atlas Work?” introduction, the units each begin with a timeline and introductory text, and then the atlas’s captioned, full-color maps and images are labeled “A-B-C-D” to guide readers logically from idea to idea. Map features include locator maps, explanatory captions, and carefully thought-out legends. Historical Issues Today spreads at the end of every unit relate historical issues to the modern world. Also, a worldwide timetable lays out simultaneous events in various regions. Students gather, organize, and synthesize evidence from text and visual resources to place milestone events within major historical movements, visualizing history as they learn content and build skills. Chronological and geographic organization develops an awareness of cause and effect. Recurring themes build a sense of historical continuity. Published in 2020, this Atlas book in 3rd Edition (measuring 8-1/2 x 11 inches) has total of 164 pages and includes Indexes, Glossary, and Timelines. Grades 5 to 12.
