Auteur
David and Jill Wright began their careers as geography teachers, before moving into teacher training. They travelled the world extensively, researching new material for educational and children's books. Sadly, David died in 2009, but his wife Jill continues to write about geography for children. Philip's has been at the forefront of creating maps and atlases since 1834. Whether a local street map or a fact-packed World Atlas, we use the most up-to-date technology, expertise and our global network to ensure our customers have all the information they need.
