520 _aThe Kimberley is a region of dramatic mountain ranges, Flat-topped rock platforms, deem gorges, spectacular waterfalls and vast plateaus. It spans the entire northern section of Western Australia from the coast to the Ord River in the east and the Great Sandy Desert in the south. Gr 5-8--In these well-illustrated titles, readers get a chance to see some of the most remote areas of the world. Each book contains over 60 captioned, full-color photographs, reproductions, geological timelines, and maps. Double-page topic treatments address the formation and history of the land, its wildlife, people, and prospects for the future. These texts don't provide in-depth information, but they do give students plenty of facts and informative graphics. Easy to read, these books will appeal to armchair travelers, those looking for background information on Western Australia or southern Africa, and report writers.
