    Great Atlas!, 2008-12-27 It's the best World Atlas I have ever seen. Great quality and also great price from amazon.com
    Absolutely magnificent, 2008-12-01 This atlas is a wonderful reference tool (many thematic maps) as well as a very entertaining browse. The beautiful, colorful maps in combination with the accompanying photographs virtually transport you from your armchair into the far away land - more than a traditional atlas page does. And the 14-page section on Space is the best illustration of the solar system and the universe I've seen published. Great visualization!
