This is a really wonderful Atlas. I would have expected to pay a great deal more for a volume of this quality. I was a Navy Quartermaster and a lot of our charts were not of this good quality. What a bargain.
Although glossy and pretty, this Atlas might have been published in the 1950s...nothing about the style and choices has been updated from a large Atlas I owned as a child. I am not complaining about the data and the map details, I have no doubt that they are current. I object to the editorial choices, which seem ridiculous in the internet age. Sure, if you have the internet, you probably don't need an atlas. But about 100 percent of customers have some access to the internet. IMO, a "new concise" Atlas should not bother including every small town in the world. Nor should it include roads except in remote places. I want a handy, big-picture reference especially pertaining to areas of the world that are frequently in the news like the Middle East, which is poorly covered. The area of the Suez Canal is tiny, for example. Everywhere, the maps are crammed full of names of minor places and roads such that the big geographic and political features are obscured. There is only one map that shows the entire Black Sea and that is a map that also shows all of Russia so the Black Sea is about one inch from East to West. If you want to know the exact location of the Ukranian village of your ancestors, this is something to save for the internet. And, especially, the roads to get you there are not needed on this map, where they could not possibly be adequate. What I want is to get a big look of the Black Sea within its political context of neighbors and geography to help me make sense of the news and history. I don't want to find some small town and how to get there.I concede that the design of a reference work like this is determined by a large number of choices and judgments and nothing will satisfy everyone. But generally I think that publishers are misguided in thinking everybody always wants a roadmap. Totally unsatisfying to me, and I am returning it.
Nice to hold a real atlas in your hand instead of using the computer. Place names are in the local language.
A very easy to use Atlas. The maps and overlays are easy to read and fun to look at. I am glad that I made this choice. There are so many to choose from, but this Atlas will not disappoint!
This was a gift for a friend who had admired my (old & dated Atlas) and did not have one of his own. Now he does; he was elated when he received it & cannot thank me enough for it.
I love, love, love, maps. With all the things going on in the world, I decided I needed a world atlas to keep up with it all!! Great and have used it almost daily.
An excellent Atlas providing all I needed. Highly recommend.
This atlas is beautiful,very detailed, easy to use, and up to date!
