Review

This is another in the Reader’s Digest Blackboard Series of books.  Like all the other, I really enjoyed this and managed to learn a lot from it.  This one concentrated on Geography.  The contents went from continent to continent detailing the enviroment, weather patterns, layouts, and the countries lying within each continent.

For the things you might not remember from school, or just as a reference book on specific subjects, I find these books very worthwhile.  Like the rest in the series, this one is no exception, and I’d recommend it for either your own knowledge or as a gift.  With the Christmas season coming up, it would also make a great stocking stuffer. 

About the Author

Born twenty-five yards from the Marston Brewery in Burton upon Trent, Will Williams always knew that places would be important in his life. After a good state school education at King Edward’s, Lichfield, he went on to Hertford College, Oxford, where he read Geography. Though secretly harboring a desire to be a stuntman, he is currently entrenched as the Head of Geography at St Paul’s School, London. The place he calls home, though, is near the banks of the Garonne in South West France, with his wife Christelle and daughter Fleuve.
