Mark Twain once famously said "there was but one solitary thing about the past worth remembering, and that was the fact that it is past and can't be restored."  Well, over recent years, The British Library, working with Microsoft has embarked on an ambitious programme to digitise its collection of 19th century books.

There are now 65,000  titles available  (that's an incredible 25 million pages) of material ranging from works by famous names such as  Dickens, Trollope and Hardy as well as many forgotten literary gems , all of which can now be printed on demand and purchased right here on Amazon.

Further information on The British Library and its digitisation programme can be found on The British Library website. ... Read more

Very handy and useful
We are using this with a group of kids to learn geography, we love it! I looked through many materials and this was the best!

Easy to Use
I bought this to use with my 5th grade students. The book is easy to use, has essential information and is creative in its presentation.

World Geography
I really like the approach of this book. It is possible to study by continent or by subject matter (world deserts, populations, etc.). The skills covered include cartography, comparative studies, traditional clothing, and many other areas of interest. I am using this as a supplement to my daughter's homeschooling and highly recommend it. But you need access to encyclopedias (paper or digital) and/or internet access.

A Great Resource Book of Factual Knowledge and Research Projects in World Geography
I would really recommend this book to any student, parent or teacher who wants to learn or teach world geography. The book contains factual lessons and research topics about every continent, covering maps, physical features, climate, resources, flora and fauna, population, languages, flags, dress and culture. At the back of the book, there are games, quizzes and answers to all the exercises. Although the cover states that the book is for Grades 5 to 8, it really is a book for all ages. I bought this book to teach world geography to the children and teenagers that I tutor in general knowledge classes. It will be a wonderful resource for my lessons, and I know my students will enjoy it too.

An okay workbook
We homeschool, so we try workbooks from different publishers regularly to see what clicks with the kids.The overall idea of this workbook was a good one, but it wasn't interesting enough to keep my daughter's attention.I have seen better. It may work for others.We didn't dislike it, but we didn't do all of the activities because even I thought many could be skipped either due to disinterest or irrelevance.

Pretty Nice!
I do recomend this book to all! I like how it does everything in unit studies. And its easy to follow, and read. But make sure you have a atlas. The atlas i recomend it "Rand MacNally, Answer Atlas". Hope this help all. And it has the answers in the back, great for homeschool moms. ... Read more

Good Starting Point for World Geography
While the lesson plans and outlines are very useful to a homeschooler, it is not until you've purchased the book and begun to read the Introduction and Overview that you learn you need to outlay another twenty-eight dollars to the author, via their own website, for the student notebook used with the course.You also need to purchase additional books both a current edition of The World Almanac and, depending on the grade level of the student you are teaching, one of three Rand McNally World Atlases.So, while I will use this book to teach geography, I am not pleased to discover that this is solely a Teacher's Manual and not a complete course as the title initially suggests.

great for multiple ages in one homeschool
This book is excellent if you are teaching kids at mulitple age levels. I do recommend that you get the CD-ROM that goes with it as it is a time-saver! Each week I print out the maps and worksheets, and we sit down to do mapping, pour over a few atlases for information, and go online to look up facts, etc. My kids (ages 5-14) are enjoying it more than any other geography program we have used. It takes very little time to prepare for the week, and not very long to complete the work and learn the material. I love it!! I've already bought the US version for next year! And, the best part, we can save it for future years as it have three levels of learning in the one book and Cd-ROM!

Best geograpy book ever!
We have done a lot of geography in our years of homeschooling. This is the best system that I have found yet.I will accomodate several ages of children and really has them explore geography according to age and grade level.Then can also add to their geography notebook every year!This is the last geography curriculum I will buy!

Trail Guides Geography
Both Trail Guide to World and U.S. Geography are excellent resources. They contain everything that is needed for the study: lesson plans, study questions, activity suggestions, and any forms needed for the student's notebook. You will need outline maps which are easy to find online, an atlas (obviously), and an almanac. Trips to the library for extra research are helpful depending on how in depth you want to study. There are three age levels of study questions. Also, there are suggested schedules for covering the material over a period of one or two years. You decide how in depth a study you want to do with different trail guides and trail blazing activities. This is a very versatile resource.

Very Well Written
