The World Atlas of Rivers, Estuaries, and Deltas

“Honorable Mention for the Dartmouth Medal, American Library Association”“Page by page there is so much to learn. The text, well written and inviting, is accompanied by photographs, maps, charts and diagrams to enhance your newly acquired knowledge.”—David Gascoigne, Travels with Birds“This source is not an atlas in the traditional sense. It is more like a coffee-table book, very colorful and heavily illustrated with stunning photography and satellite images… . [The World Atlas of Rivers, Estuaries, and Deltas] provides an introductory, accessible explanation of the world’s waterways.” * Choice *
