From Booklist
Gr. 4-6. Teachers and parents will find this cornucopia of instructive projects will help spark interest in geography topics. The authors not only define geography as the study of where things are globally, but also as the purview of more complicated issues such as cultural development. The strongest projects lead off, with readers learning how to make an astrolabe, a cross staff, and a compass. Intertwined are explanations of latitude, longitude, and bits of relevant history regarding explorers and the use of these instruments. Cartography comes next, with special care devoted to explaining how world maps compromise actual distances and shapes in their efforts to depict a view of landforms. A chapter on weather and its influence on land and people includes instructions for making a barometer, an anemometer, and a wind vane. The book underscores not only the complexities of where we are, but also how we got here. The writing is friendly and upbeat, and the page design kinetic--pictures of kids and projects plus sidebar stories and boxed information keep visual interest high. Denise Wilms
