4 out of 5 stars Two books in one   April 3, 2008
Earl J. Mcgehee (Austin, TX USA)
After using this atlas for a month I want to lower my rating - the lack of a locator map or contents makes my blood pressure go up every time I try to use this atlas.

The first two-thirds of this book contains a page or two per country overview of the stats, climate, history, politics and economy for the country. This summary includes a basic map of the country. The the rest of the volume is a reduced size version of the Oxford Atlas of the World.

The primary problem with this book is the difficulty in finding a country in the detailed maps section. There is no world outline map showing all the country map pages and there is no table of contents for the map pages. This is not helped by the fact there there are two separate indexes - one for the country statistics section and a separate index for the detailed maps section.

The maps are by Philip's and are of good quality like all the Oxford Atlases (although not as good as the older editions of the Times Atlas with maps by Bartholomew) and this is a convenient smaller size.
