REVIEW:
Atlapedia Online provides detailed statistics on countries of the world, along with physical and political maps. Users are greeted with information
concerning the site's legal agreement. However, once past that, viewers will find facts and figures on each country's geography, population, political
tendencies, and modern history. The site uses an encyclopedia format -- hence the name. This is an excellent page to save for geography, social studies and history teachers.
Students could use the site as a source for reports and research.
