Thomas Guide of Washington, DC
Educators often take students on field trips to the nation's capital. Nothing could be more helpful in the planning and implementation of such a trip as the Thomas Guide of Washington, DC. Replete with airport maps, metrorail maps, as well as finding all of those points of interest such as the Jefferson Memorial, the Smithsonian, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, the National Aquarium, the White House, and literally scores of others, the Thomas Guide is unparalleled in finding the places you want to see; some you've heard about and others that will be new to you. Students will spend hours searching out items in the Guide in their trip planning process. And for those teachers and students who can't actually go to Washington, the Guide will be a wonderful resource for an imaginary trip or virtual field trip to the nation's capital.
Thomas Bros. Maps, a Rand McNally company, currently produces more than 40 editions of Thomas Guides, which are updated annually, for the states of California, Arizona, Oregon and Washington, as well as CD-ROM products covering eight major metropolitan areas in the West.
