Whether pulling up a map on your phone or going old-school and referencing a travel guide, neither will be much use without the skills to interpret it. The books in the Searchlight Books: What Do You Know about Maps? series set out to teach readers how to navigate a wide range of maps and point out just why they might want to. Each introduces common map elements, such as scale, keys, and the compass rose, as it shows a specific type of map at work. Agriculture, industry, and population data are on display in Economic and Resource Maps, which includes tips on finding reliable, up-to-date maps online. Clean layouts nicely balance colorful graphics and white space, and each volume ends with an exercise to test readers' newfound map skills.
