Modern Elementary Geography brings a beloved Charlotte Mason classic into today’s world. Families will love its warmth and clarity and appreciate the range of themes and topics covered, which span aspects of physical and social geography.
In the 150 years since Charlotte Mason first penned Elementary Geography a lot has changed in the field of Geography. While space exploration has helped us to better understand our universe, the places and lands she once described have grown and developed in different ways. Computer technology has changed the way we collect and process information and today geographers can use a digital map on a smartphone, examine a 3D map of the seafloor, or view satellite images from around the world. Our understanding of the world has evolved, and a modern approach to geography needs to cover new themes and topics, including our oceans and waterways, megacities, GPS and GIS, climatic zones, and much more. Modern Elementary Geography retains the same warmth and rigor of the original but brings it into the modern world.
