Hi,
We were subscribed to the world atlas online from Facts On
File. We are due to renew it and I've taken a close look at it. I
am really not satisfied with it. It seems very superficial and out
of date to me. If you look at their bibliographic references, they
are all 2000 or earlier imprints. Also, for example in the China
entry, there is nothing under economy about their manufacturing; it's
all about agriculture. It's possible that I've missed something
there but it is not very inclusive.
I've tried to find other geographic databases and have only
been able to find ones that are very scholarly and specific to
different areas of interest. If anyone has any recommendations for
a website of this kind, that is appropriate for high school and is
comprehensive, I'd be very appreciative. Marion
