Description
The story of how Death Valley was named is rather unexpected--the people who named it survived! The forbidding landscape surely supports the name, but is the Dead Sea as aptly named? Readers find lots of interesting information like this when they pick up this book! Full-color photographs of amazing locales around the world take readers to the many places described throughout the book. From volcanoes to how people have changed geography, the incredible information on each spread covers concepts included in the social studies curriculum--and some surprising facts and fun that aren't!
