This atlas is intended to act as a resource material for the study of social studies by Bahamian pupils in Grades 4-9.

With comprehensive coverage of the Caribbean islands, gulfs and bays this atlas focuses on accurate mapping of all the Caribbean countries. Thematic maps of individual countries and the Caribbean region address topics specific to the syllabus. This completely new Collins Carribean Student Atlas is created for the requirements of CSEC Geography students and is a vital tool for all students, with up-to-date reference and thematic mapping, useful statistics and an extensive index. The Atlas has been specifically designed for CSEC students, however its well-researched content and uncluttered design makes it easy for all student use. Topics include population, climate, economy, industry, trade, tourism, history and the environment. All maps are created using the latest statistical information available. High quality satellite imagery, which has been selectively used within the special topic or study areas, supports data on the maps and is used to illustrate key environmental issues. Up-to-date data aids students wishing to create their own graphics to support individual projects.

This course has been developed in association with the Ministry of Education and written by a team of experienced Bahamian teachers and teacher educators.
