You've seen these maps and map activities on teacher websites and teacher packets. You've probably (if a teacher) wanted to get hold of them. The maps are beautiful, and align with an ancient-to-modern day history curriculum.
In addition, the activities involve the students completely. I will reiterate what the author does: students of history will not grasp Story without an internal sense of Place. They need a map IN their heads.
The introduction is sensible, with recommendations for scoring and classroom management; clearly, this was created by a master of the teaching-craft.
(One suggestion I have, not included in this book, is that students require mental-tracing activities to gain a recognition for the shapes of places. I've used clay, copying, and tracing games to facilitate this.)
