Understanding World Geography covers the physical features of the earth, as well as climate and vegetation zones, cultures, economies, industries, and transportation. The first two units consider general themes about the physical earth and man’s life on it. The other seven units each cover a major region of the earth.

Each of the twenty-seven chapters includes study and review exercises. The textbook also contains an atlas and country statistics. Purchase the quizzes and tests, maps, and teacher’s manual separately.
