Great maps indeed. It's better than the Times one in my opinion. Just one problem: too many US maps.there're tens of US maps including every detailed corner. now maybe it is not a problem, but when you find the book contains only 4 or 5 plates for South America which is much larger than the US, it is a problem.I have compared, the map for Suriname is even less detailed than my micro pocket atlas which costs only 0.8 USD. This is really ridiculous.
We owned an older version and loved it as well. This new edition brings us up-to-date with latest name changes, population shifts, etc. One change that is noticeable is that the small write-ups of countries is listed as an alphabetical group, rather than listed with the maps for that area; a minor irritation. The information and displays are excellent. In an ever changing world it is good to keep up with where and why things are happening. This tome helps...
Very heavy, some of the maps not very comprehensive - does not have Debaltseve in Ukraine.
Very nice atlas, other reviewers weren't kidding when they said you needed an extra large magnifying glass though. Also, the sheer size of it makes it hard to hold on your lap, I had to prop it with pillows so it wouldn't gouge my legs. Biggest book I've ever owned, lol!
It's so helpful atlas with so much information within it, and it will definitely be in my library for a long time.But in my point of view there are tow disadvantages:First: it contains a lot of plates (pages) for a specific countries, such as the united states and the United kingdom, and you may see ten countries or more have been gathered in only one plate.So it's very clear that the designers of this atlas focus in a specific geographic regions of the planet, but it should be a global atlas ? or a world atlas right ?The second is: the index part of the atlas, a huge portion of the book has been occupied by the index section which I may never even use, I believe they can make a custom editions which have a brief index for those who are not familiar with index, and replace it with even more plates.I know that the time's atlas has even more index, and this was exactly the reason that made me buy this atlas instead of the time's atlasOther than this, this book is really helpful.
Much better price on then directly from National Geographic. The Atlas is huge and beautiful. My son uses it to study for National Geographic Bee.
Beautiful Atlas. Information about anything and everything can be found in this edition. Very heavy but makes an amazing coffee table book and/or a gift. It would truly make a gorgeous gift or a lovely addition to one's home. I bought it for my husband and he couldn't stop raving about it.
This was purchased as a gift for my son and his family. It was as great as I expected. I love geography, reading, history and hope my 3 grandchildren follow suit. My 13 yr. old granddaughter immediately took possession and began some research, which of course pleased me!
