Gr 4–7—Bringing geography to life, this succinct title demonstrates the multidisciplinary nature of the field and includes chapters devoted to the Earth as a whole, the oceans and seas, and each of the continents. The brief sections, subheadings, and easy-to-read text with indexed words in boldface will enable students to quickly gain new information or obtain an overview of world geography. In addition to the narrative information, the book offers numerous tables, charts, and maps, and includes many "Geo Gems"—tidbits of trivia explaining, for example, the difference between a rain forest and a jungle. This handy guide will help students with reports.—Sara Rofofsky Marcus, Yeshiva Har Torah, Little Neck, NY
