Summary: Oxford World Atlas
Review: This rendition has a comprehensive coverage of the universe and
our solar system in full color. There are pictures of earthquake zones and weather belts worldwide. Constellations of stars are depicted for astronomers . There is good coverage of the world
economic systems. The maps are easy to read and interpret.
The boldface print makes for ease of identification of even the
smallest cities and towns. This book is perfect for any school project in geography, earth science, world history and a whole host of other academic constituencies. It is a worthy investment
if you have any children in school- at any level.

Summary: WONDERFUL VALUE
Review: This wonderful atlas is a joy to read, re-read and keep as a family reference resource. The pages are very well laid out, the maps are easy to read, the colors are vivid. The amazingly vast amount of information about planet earth and space contained within its pages is extremely easy to locate. The glossary section is comprehensive and detailed. The 10th edition has upto date information as compared to most other atlases. Since so many borders have changed in the past ten years, I believe this book is an absolute MUST for anyone who has some interest in other parts of the world. I cannot think of a better use for the amount I paid to buy this book and I will recommend it whole-heartedly to students, teachers, writers etc. In comparison with other atlases like National Geographic, Hammond or DK, in my opinion, this book will give you the biggest bang for the buck!

Summary: Wow!
Review: We have been using an atlas from, dare I admit it, the '60's. I finally got tired of remembering which countries have changed names and other such trivial information so I searched Amazon.com, read reviews and picked this book. A great choice!Although much bigger, heavier and more awkward to use than our old atlas, I would never go back. The quality of the maps and photos added to the large amount of other information makes this a "must have". The fact that it's so recently published ensures an accuracy that must be hard to maintain in such a changing world. If you want an excellent atlas I can highly recommend this one. We'll be buying a book stand/table so we can leave it out and accessible.

Summary: Outstanding graphics, detail, and information
Review: With all the activity going on in Kosovo, my children were asking a lot of questions about that area of the world. It was time to invest in an Atlas that could benefit my family for years to come. The Oxford Atlas of the World renders spectacular graphics and more detail about our world than I even imagined. It's a great investment for anyone wanting to know more about the world we live in.
