Editions

1st Edition (2020)

The 4th edition features new and updated lessons related to election integrity, decisions of the Supreme Court, and international relations. The curriculum includes updated statistics and many new photographs, illustrations, and charts. The companion volume of readings, We Hold These Truths, includes some new selections.

None of the components from this edition are compatible with previous editions of the curriculum.

For the 2016 edition, Ray Notgrass made a major revision and update to the text, which was printed in full color with a hardback binding. The curriculum had a completely new layout with hundreds of color photos and illustrations, a new optional English/literature half-year credit, hands-on project and writing ideas for every unit, and a completely revised Student Review Pack designed for ease of use. The Student Review Pack for this edition is available for purchase as a digital download.

High School Student Review Material

The 2008 paperback edition had a completely redesigned page layout with many new illustrations. Author Ray Notgrass made some changes to the text, but the lesson content was essentially the same as the original edition. The Quiz and Exam Pack for this edition is available for purchase as a digital download.

High School Student Review Material

This is the first and only edition of Exploring World Geography.

Corrections

Unit 3

Lesson 15 Review Questions in the Student Review, page 18 - Question #8 states, "The book of Esther in the Old Testament tells of the establishment of what feast to commemorate the deliverance of the Jews in Persia from the evil Mordecai?" It should say "Haman" instead of "Mordecai".

Unit 17, Lesson 82

The assignments section says to answer the questions about the "Art and Architecture in Kyrgyzstan” photo essay in the Student Review Book. That is a mistake. There are no questions for that reading.

Unit 28, Lesson 136

On page 774, we said that Jimmie Angel landed on top of Auyántepui two years after his first sighting. It was actually four years later.

Gazetteer

On page 228, the flag shown is the flag of Lithuania (yellow, green, and red bars), not Bolivia (red, yellow, and green bars). See the flag of Bolivia.
