Everyone knows that the ABC's of geography is location, location, location. Each and every student of geography must start by knowing where the nations of the world are located relative to each other. Do these nations share a border, or are they halfway around the world from each other? Is one North, South, East or West of the other? These are typical questions that any student should be able to answer easily. Unfortunately, most students find geography "boring" because of the tedious way they are expected to learn it...so they give up on geography before they really get started.

But now the Visualize World Geography method is here to save the day! It teaches students to see, in their mind's eye, where the nations are relative to each other, using non-intimidating, playful puns, and creative, colorful characters that "shape the world" by turning the world into memorable shapes. Practically speaking, students learn to mentally visualize the location, size and shape of a nation relative to other nations in a matter of SECONDS!!! Moreover, they remember this information long after passing their tests with flying colors...



Theresa Blain gives us the best of what science has to offer combined with a remarkable artistic flair to produce something that will enchant adults and amuse learners and ease their road to mastering the facts of geography.

"I am amazed that by casually looking over the first pictography, I am able to place Burundi and Djibouti on a map of Africa. I promise that I never heard of these places before. This book is definitely a good resource, not just for the students, but also for you as a life-long learner."

"The Visual World Geography Curriculum is the best tool for preparing students to compete in the National Geographic Bee. Those whose mental maps are based upon these pictographies, have a huge advantage... Pictographies are visual organizers of a nation's relative size, location, borders, and shape, so students easily, and really just automatically recall this information...Whole classrooms have been tested--before and after being exposed to the VWG Curriculum, and it is truly amazing to see how students go from not knowing any name-place facts, to knowing all of them!
