Imagine that someone from another country has asked you to describe the United States in a single sentence -- not an easy task! However, dividing America into regions and comparing and contrasting them can help explain our nation's unique natural, physical and cultural features. From the Mid-Atlantic to the Midwest, from the Sun Belt to the Southwest and West, the United States is a mosaic of ethnic groups, accents, landscapes and climates. Utilizing the five themes of the National Geography standards, Geographic Perspectives: The United States of America provides students with an in-depth look at the relationship between physical and human characteristics of our vast and diverse country.
