The British Empire and the Great Divisions of the Globe
by Charlotte M. Mason
Description: A stimulating survey of the continents of the world depicting in broad brush strokes the position of land masses and oceans, the general contours of the land, and the location of mountains and rivers. The text is peppered with numerous anecdotes, some historical, some showcasing activities in the region under consideration, with the goal of interesting children in lands and peoples the world over. Geographical features, such as lochs in Scotland and glaciers in Switzerland, are brought into the narrative naturally. Readers should consult the included maps of each of the continents in connection with the questions at the end of each chapter. Having a supplementary atlas available with large color maps illustrating elevation differences would enrich the experience.
