5.0

This is the geography book I always wished was around when I was a kid. And now it is, and I am so thankful that it was translated from Polish and made available. While it should probably still be classified as a children's book, this book is detailed enough to suffice for adults. In fact, if more adults knew even a fraction of what was in this book, we would have a much more knowledgeable world. When I read this with Jackson, and study the many details on each page, there are so many elements that I want to go and look up later--languages I have never heard of, massive mountains I didn't know existed, delicious foods, animals I thought were legends or extinct, etc., etc. This book basically makes you appreciate the amazingly diverse and incredible world we live in all the more, and for that it deserves the highest praise. I will keep reading and re-reading this book many times.
