This atlas has been completely updated and includes new topics to reflect the revised geography requirements in the National Curriculum and QCA units of work. The atlas is supported by two teacher's guides and copymaster books, each of these gives a page-by-page guide to the atlas and the copymasters. It is part of the "Keystart" series, a comprehensive atlas programme for 7 to 11 years olds. The atlas is organized into themes: skills, water and landscape, settlement, environment, global citizenship and places. Each spread is devoted to a single topic and the maps are supported by text, photographs, illustrations and simple graphs. Different scales are used, from large-scale plans to small-scale maps of the world. This variety of material allows the integration of the different strands of the geography curriculum: enquiry and skills, knowledge and understanding of place, patterns and environmental change, and sustainable development; and new topics link to citizenship.
