An improved new version of Facts On File’s acclaimed World Atlas, the new
World Geography and Culture Online reference site takes a global approach
to facilitate the study of countries, places, peoples, and geography concepts
and skills. This comprehensive resource makes it easy to study all aspects
of a country—from its geography and physical features to its government,
people, and society—providing both facts at a glance and in-depth coverage
through country entries, maps, flags, images, statistics, news articles, a
gazetteer, and more.
In addition to country-specific information, this accessible online resource
includes a special feature illustrating basic geographical concepts, tools to
compare and rank countries, a useful geography glossary, a handy conversion
calculator, and a currency converter, as well as information on U.S. states.
Gateway pages for the gazetteer and for geography concepts and principles
offer users a convenient way to discover geographical information.
Ideal for social studies projects as well as for general country research, World Geography and Culture Online features an easy-to-navigate interface. Search and browse features allow users to research more specific aspects and issues in depth, and tabbed search results allow for quick navigation among record types.
Stop in the library and check out this great database from a library computer. Just go to the library's "Database and Search Engine Page" - click on "Education" - and click on "World Geography and Culture".
