The answers to all these can be found on the internet. However, an atlas is
the very best way to get the context of each question – that is, the geography
around what you’re trying to answer. For example, if you’re looking for
something specific having to do with Alaska, or Germany, or Egypt, you might
encounter something else along the way unrelated but important. You are less
likely to experience this on the internet.
