Easy-to-use features include a multi-access contents page, clear explanations of graphics, country data files, a two-colour index of place names, and flags of the world at a usable size. There is comprehensive coverage of the British Isles, together with continental and world mapping and a world statistical section. It includes case studies on topics that will appeal to children such as earthquakes and volcanoes, flooding and tsunamis, hurricane and weather patterns, economy and tourism as well as specific country studies on Italy, Kenya, Brazil, Japan, China and Antartica.
