This title seeks to assist the teacher in fostering an appreciation of the world's diverse cultures and environments at the same time as teaching science and social studies. It uses 32 of the world's most popular natural national parks as a springboard for activities.

In short, The World's Best Places will help you lead your students from curiosity to experience, from questions to knowledge, and from information to grand classroom displays.
