Customer Reviews

The size is well proportioned but not so much to an atlas user who requires greater detail.
J. Carpenter
Wanted a new world atlas because of all the changes and this one has a lot of great extra information and the size makes it useful anywhere.
Lynda M Nolan
Great to thumb through for general interest too, don't need to have a geography bee to find this atlas interesting and useful.

I was careless in selecting an "essential" atlas when I required a more comprehensive atlas. This particular version is better suited to a middle school/high school audience, The production quality is excellent and attractive. The size is well proportioned but not so
much to an atlas user who requires greater detail. I shall purchase the Oxford World Atlas which I should have done in the first
place.

This is a great atlas. I was looking for a new one for my two highschoolers that I homeschool and found that it was very thorough and chock full of info without being bulky.

This is a fantastic atlas! The quality of this book is wonderful -- nice weight to the pages and great color on the maps, very updated information and it is a great size to take along in the car or backpack. We have a hardcover atlas on the coffee table but my son (11) wanted a small one to take in the car for studying the geography bee and this book is perfect. Great to thumb through for general interest too, don't need to have a geography bee to find this atlas interesting and useful.

I bought this for my daughter (HS freshman) to use in her honors World History class & it has been exactly what she needs. It is also compact, light weight.

I purchased this because the world has changed since I was in school many moons ago! So when I hear of places that I remember or not on the news, reading and such, I look and say wow it was "close" to where I thought, or it hasn't moved!!!! And, the newer countries or ones that changed names I now learn

This is a decent atlas of a fantastic size and presentation. My gripe is that the smaller countries aren't presented with as much detail as I'd like, and are crammed onto a page with other countries.
