Publisher's note

Maps and globes can take you anywhere -- to the top of the tallest mountain on earth or the bottom of the deepest ocean. Maps tell you about the world: where various countries are located, where the jungles and deserts are, even how to find your way around your own hometown. If you take a fancy to any place on earth, you can go there today and still be home in time for dinner. So open a map, spin a globe. The wide world awaits you.

Annotation

An introduction to the history of maps and map-making. Also explored is why globes are more realistic than flat maps and an explanation of map language that defines such words as "topography", "longitude", and "latitude". Color illustrations accompany the text.
