YEARS 7 - 12 In 1969, Jacaranda created the first Australian school atlas. In 1999, we re-engineered atlases for the twenty-first century. Through the Spirit of Geography project, Australian geography teachers have helped us to produce an in-depth resource to support and inspire Australia\'s geography community. The atlas is supported by a Mapping Skills CD-ROM and a dedicated web site. The Jacaranda Atlas Fifth Edition and Jacaranda Atlas Mapping skills CD-ROM , supported by its own web site, is the ultimate geography resource for the twenty-first century classroom. Key features of the atlas: Mapping detail and clarity pioneered by Jacaranda. Extensive coverage of Australia and the world including many new regional maps. Reference section containing core geography information linked to case studies. More than 50 case studies from Australia and around the world.
