About this title

From the Author:

invites you to pull out an atlas and compare
Since I first discovered the early Landsat images, I've been fascinated by the vibrant colors and incredible detail of satellite images. While researching this book, I worked with kids 9 to 12. Even the ones who seemed indifferent to "geography" were competing to guess what part of the United States they were looking at in each image. In order to answer their questions in the book, I chose to emphasize geologic and geographic features, using the images as a fresh view on the map of the United States. I urge parents and teachers to provide an atlas for comparison. It's a thrill to see kids light up when they realize that the lines, dots, shadings, and contour tracings on a map represent something REAL that can be seen from space.
