National Geographic Almanac 2021


(Thank you to the publisher and TLC Book Tours for providing me with a copy of this book!)

about book:

The essential annual for the 21st century, this high-energy almanac is packed with facts, photos, infographics, time lines, and maps–the perfect stocking stuffer and book to browse all year long.

A guide to the world like no other, this vivid and comprehensive book offers the best of National Geographic and more: science, nature, history, world cultures, geography, and the environment, illustrated with amazing photography, fascinating infographics, and maps created by expert cartographers. Highlights this year include the James Webb telescope, launching in 2021; a brand-new wildflower guide; a guided tour of the moons of our solar system; a beautiful infographic on jellyfish; and a feature on lithium, central to the work of recent Nobel prize-winning chemistry.

Divided into lively chapters including Exploration & Adventure, Life on Earth, and The Science of Us, this year’s almanac features top photos from National Geographic’s celebrated Instagram account and geniuses past and present including Jane Goodall, Amelia Earhart, and acclaimed conservationist Kris Tompkins, dedicated to preserving much of Patagonia.

With new discoveries on every page, this cutting-edge book–called a “category buster” by Booklist–brings you, as Publishers Weekly puts it, “all the things that National Geographic does best.”

my thoughts:

What a great book! Chock full of exciting and fascinating information, National Geographic's Almanac 2021 will have you looking forward to the upcoming year. Then again, considering how 2020 has been, how could we not be looking forward to a new year already, right?  

Almanac 2021 covers a plethora of topics: nature, history, and geography to name a few. There are maps, infographics, and tons of amazing photographs to get lost in. You'll find out about so many things you didn't even realize you were curious about - its such a fun book to dip in and out of. I can't wait to peruse it throughout the year of 2021 and learn about butterflies and their migratory patterns, whales, and the solar system. So much to take in - you can't help but get excited about it all. I would most definitely recommend Almanac 2021 to anyone and everyone who loves National Geographic books - you will be thrilled with this latest one!!
