  | Full Text Reviews: Booklist - 02/15/2017 Whether pulling up a map on your phone or going old-school and referencing a travel guide, neither will be much use without the skills to interpret it. The books in the Searchlight Books: What Do You Know about Maps? series set out to teach readers how to navigate a wide range of maps and point out just why they might want to. Each introduces common map elements, such as scale, keys, and the compass rose, as it shows a specific type of map at work. Climate Maps demonstrates how different colors might be used on a map to indicate a region’s average temperature or rainfall, taking care to differentiate between climate and weather. Clean layouts nicely balance colorful graphics and white space, and each volume ends with an exercise to test readers’ newfound map skills. - Copyright 2017 Booklist. Loading...
