Review:

"A vast array of information presented in a thorough yet interesting way. I can't think of a better resource to aid those connected with the Bee."—Joseph J. Kerski, Ph.D., educator and geographer, U.S. Geological Survey "Indispensable! If you could use just one source to study for the National Geographic Bee—this is it. Fantastic!"—Edward Grode, principal of Perry School, America's first "geography theme-based" elementary school and moderator for the Pennsylvania Geography Bee "A gold mine of useful information for anyone preparing for the National Geographic Bee. The study guide alone makes this a must-have resource for any geography teacher."—Brad Bowerman, geography teacher and operator of "Geography World" online
