interconnectedness, and diversity, the book offers young armchair travelers and globe-trotters much to discover’ — Publishers Weekly

Includes encyclopedic info on climate and weather, wildlife, and natural resources. Traversing Europe, North Africa, and the rest of the globe unearths equal charms’ — ForeWord Magazine
