For the price of a magazine that will be thrown away a month later, you can get this basic but good little atlas that will prove useful for years to come. It's lightweight and paperback and printed on matte paper, and is the size of magazine. Although it's no replacement for a 'real' atlas, the level of detail is surprisingly decent...better than the dumbed-down school atlases I had in elementary school. Each map has the legend on the page. It has an index as well as a bit of additional information about each country.Downsides: The countries are shaded in somewhat dark colors, making the text a bit hard to read. The page margins are very large...they could've made the maps larger without such large white borders. There are no continuation arrows on the edge of the maps to show what page to find the next map in that direction.Even if you're not a student, or into geography or travel, this could be the most useful $5 you'll ever spend.
These maps are poor quality. The book is a nice size and the maps are detailed, but the coloring and amount of detail make them extremely hard to read, especially for younger students. I was very disappointed.
I have traveled to 25 countries and always take this with me. It is very compact and light. It holds up well when traveling sometimes in the worst of conditions. Most of the maps are two pages and they fold together nicely. Bottom line if you go traveling take something like this with you. It is a great conversation starter and you can easily show people where you live in relation to them.
Although this atlas was very handy and had loads of maps in it, many were barely usable because of the teenie print. The margins are large, which may be great for taking notes, but it takes valuable map space. The map of the United States, for example, is barely readable because of the way all of the words are squished together.
This is a very thin volume for tugging along to class in your 3-ring binder. I was disappointed but then again it is fairly thin. Don't expect more, considering the price, than a quick boost of background knowledge. Still, this will be a big help and is trustworthy. A real find for your budding Jr High/Sr High-schooler. Good for an at-school homework/classwork assist.
My daughter's school had this book as a requirement for 8th grade. The maps are very detailed and beautifully done, however, because of the size of the book the writing is tiny. That is my only complaint.
Not to be compared with exhaustive school/library atlases, it's perfect for my needs as a general reader. It's easy to follow and super-easy to carry around - also has three rings which makes it suitable for insertion in note books. The price is very affordable. Every student should have one.
Pretty basic. Has 48 pages of colored maps which show regions of the world to give coverage to the whole planet. United States doesn't get special treatment - just 1 page. Very brief info given for each country. Has listing of major cities with their latitude and longitude.
