MACMILLAN SCHOOL ATLAS FOR SOUTHERN AFRICA

The Macmillan School Atlas for Southern Africa was produced to aid the learning and
teaching of Geography in southern Africa. While the focus is predominantly on Junior
Secondary School pupils, those at middle and upper secondary studies will find the atlas
handy as a reference. All the Geographical themes – Physical, Human and Economic
Geography – are covered with the topics provided in syllabi in Lesotho, Namibia,
Swaziland and Zimbabwe (LNSZ) the focal point of exposi on.
The atlas gives detailed geographical coverage of the LNSZ countries. It then gives
descrip ons of SADC as a regional grouping before moving to Africa and the World at large.
While it may be used as a teaching/learning tool, this atlas is also vital as a revision book.
The atlas has the following features and benefits:
• The language is simple and clear.
• Complex geographical concepts are simplified.
• The geographical data are current. The data depict environmental and topical issues,
economic, social development and interdependence.
• There is a prolifera on of maps, diagrams and photographs.
It would be inappropriate to omit the inclusion of mapwork studies in this atlas as well
as the Solar System in which man has found a home on planet Earth. The inclusion of
these topics makes the atlas a complete whole, enhancing the study of Geography,
Environmental Science and Social Studies. The atlas augments the resource materials
available in the school library, the home and workplace.
