Summary: Great Atlas
Review: I am a geography student, and when I left for my last trip to Europe, I forgot my atlas! I tracked this one down in Poland at a bookstore... every other atlas was too large and heavy! Anyhow, the maps are clean and good, and theres not too many maps of things only geographers need. If you need a fairly lightweight atlast with great maps and cool tidbits about all the countries on the globe, this is perfect for you. I paid a lot more for it in poland than you'll pay on amazon, thats for sure!

Summary: great bargain
Review: This is a great atlas for the price-conscious. What is great about it is the maps, of course. However, what is even better is the maps in front denoting time zones, political hot spots, geographical layout, etc. All this info is available at one glance. The maps are well done. If there is any main complaint, it's simply that I found the legends for the maps to be a bit small and difficult to read. And for those who are looking for really large maps, this may not be the atlas for them. But in my opinion, it is a true bargain
