Customer Reviews

I love this atlas!

It's so easy to use and great for my daughter's book reports. Well worth the money. I think the other reviewer who doesn't like the revision is mistaken.

Excellent pictures & Concise description

A+ 16K big book. Worth every cent spent.I think every scholoar who is global-minded should have one. I like this atlas so much that I sent this as a gift to my college professors who love it very very much. Every-one will love it and after learning from this book you'll no longer feel surprised to some unknown countries/cities and you'll have a cultural/ historical/geographical perspective toward analyzing some happenings.

This Book

It has very easy-to-read and concise maps. Also, it has very detailed information for each country's history, geography, and government. Very nice description, and overall a great book!
