Product Description Trying to process economic information can leave you at a loss. You need to understand the connections in global markets (where was your cell phone made?), the crazy variety of currencies (from dollars to kronor), and the high stakes of spending (wants versus needs). How can all these statistics and concepts make more sense? Infographics! The charts, maps, and illustrations in this book tell a visual story to help you better understand key concepts about economics. Crack open this book to explore mind-boggling questions such as: • How do people buy and sell things without money? • What makes it hard to find a job? • How do people use their resources to turn big ideas into big business? The answers will be worth a lot to you! Review "An attractive introduction to social studies in infographic form. The titles all begin with four questions designed to pique readers' interest ('Do you wonder where people live in the world?'), and the text is divided into 12 brief chapters. Factual data is presented, such as dates and statistics, as well as more complex concepts, all presented comprehensibly. For example, World Geography shows how rivers are vital for food and communication, maps the world's seven highest mountains, shows the layers of habitat in a rain forest, and discusses smog. US Government defines democracy and explains taxation, voting, and the three branches of American government. Economics covers topics such as the use of assembly lines, recycling electronics, seed money, and the idea of a global economy. The colorful charts, maps, and illustrations that fill the pages of this series are sure to appeal to young readers who live in a high-tech, digital world." ―School Library Journal
