This fourth book in a series about Maryland's counties includes Somerset, Dorchester, Worcester, and Wicomico Counties on the Eastern Shore of the state. Written for children in elementary school, the book not only acquaints readers with the basic facts about the area's history, geography, climate, plants, animals, education, religion, and sites of interest, it also features some fascinating facts about the various counties. Typical of the things children will learn from this book are these:
- Smith Island in Somerset County has a most unusual form of government. It has no mayor or town council and residents do not pay local taxes. The leaders of the community have always been the ministers of the church.
- Harriet Tubman led more than three hundred slaves from Dorchester County northward to freedom. Apparently she would do anything to help a runaway slave escape. She and a band of slaves once hid in a pile of manure until the coast was clear.
- Annie Oakley of Wild West Show fame lived for a time in Cambridge. When her neighbor complained that his walnut tree hadn't produced walnuts that year, Oakley showed up at his house with a basket of purchased walnuts and apologized for having shot the walnuts out of his tree.
- When the Boardwalk at Ocean City in Worcester County was first built in 1902, it was about two blocks long. Because it was low and high tides affected it, the Board-walk was picked up and stored each night.
- The Whitehaven ferry in Wicomico County, which is guided by a cable and carries three cars at a time across the Wicomico River, has been in operation for more than three hundred years. It is thought to be the oldest continuously operating ferry inthe United States.

It includes all aspects of map use, such as reading and interpreting maps and using maps to find the way, covering maps of all scales, including globes and atlases. The text is extensively illustrated with examples, including maps made by children themselves using conventional materials as well as computer software. A particular feature of the book is the integration of digital and conventional mapping, and Internet and CD-ROM cartography together with simple applications of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) appropriate to the needs of children right through primary and secondary education.

The status of geography in school curricula varies across the globe. Geography, as a discrete subject, has, in some countries, established a strong position in both primary and secondary schools while in others it has a weaker position, often a component of integrated and cross-curricular arrangements. Globally, the trend is for geography's status to be challenged. A central theme of this book is the location of geography in school curricula with particular reference to centrality and marginality. A second theme relates to the subject status of geography. A third theme relates to the spirit and purpose of school geography and the traditions that underpin the subject and how these are changing. A fourth theme relates to the way geography is being seen by curriculum planners as contributing to the achievement of governmental aims for society in general. A fifth theme concerns the human and material resources infrastructure. Finally, what of the future?

Most people recognize Michigan by its mitten-shaped Lower Peninsula and the Great Lakes embracing the state. Underneath the earth's surface, however, is equally distinctive evidence of an exciting history. Michigan rests on sedimentary rocks that reach down into the earth's crust more than 14,000 feet--a depth three-and-a-half times more than the layers of rock in the Grand Canyon. Within these layers of rock rest all sorts of ancient fossils and minerals that date back to the eras when tropical seas spread across Michigan and hot volcanoes flung molten rock into its skies--long before mile-thick glaciers bulldozed over Michigan and plowed through ancient river valleys to form the Great Lakes. Under Michigan is the first book for young readers about the geologic history of the state and the structure scientists call the Michigan Basin. A fun and educational journey, Under Michigan explores Earth's geological past, taking readers far below the familiar sights of Michigan to explain the creation of minerals and fossils and show where they can be found in the varying layers of rock. Readers will learn about the hard rock formations that define Michigan's shape and also discover the tall mountain ridges hidden at the bottom of the Great Lakes. With full-color illustrations by author Charles Ferguson Barker, a glossary of scientific terms, and a page to keep field notes, Under Michigan is a wonderful resource for young explorers to use at home, in school, or on a trip across Michigan.
