REVIEW:
Each part of this Web site is a complete unit. The Geographia Web site used to be called InterKnowledge. Some of its old units are available from the main page, listed under "Destinations." Those are categorized by continent. The restructuring of the site can be a little confusing. Most of the pages have different navigation tools and menus. However, navigation within each unit is fairly simple. A few of the sections have sound and movie files. Users will find immense amounts of information on a number of countries and places. This is a great smorgasbord of information for history, political science, culture and area studies, and geography teachers and students. The site brims with content!
