 Impressive. And heavier than ununoctium (the heaviest element known to man). October 10, 2007
Mike Smith (Albuquerque, NM)
This book seems less like an atlas to me, since its focus appears to be less on maps and more on photographs and information. So, maybe the title is misleading, but for what it is, whatever that is, it's pretty amazing. It's beautiful, and extensive in its scope.
Information-wise, it's probably got some inconsistencies in it, but I don't know how you could make a book this huge--it's 15 inches high, 10 inches wide, and 2 inches thick, with a briefcase handle and a solid cover--without at least a mistake or two.
The book is 618 pages long and fully indexed and is ideal to use as a reference or to flip through on a lazy morning. The edition I have also came with an interactive CD-ROM.

A big, beautiful atlas, with a large focus on Australia, which is excellent. I needed a good atlas for a lot of work stuff at one stage, and this was well worth it, I am very glad it was given to me. Also came with a notebook, a carry case (it is big), a CD-Rom version and a diary. All in all, an excellent publication.
More than an atlas .. January 9, 2007

This is one of three atlases I use to find places and to discover (or rediscover) certain facts of geography.
Populations doen't remain static, political boundaries change and some names change. Those facts need to be cross checked for accuracy. But as a beautifully presented general atlas, this is a wonderful addition to any home or office library.
I donated a copy of this to a local school library when first published and it has proven a very helpful 'gateway to the world'.

This review is for the european edition (revised, finnish).
There is a mention of a globe population of 6 billion, but in the next chapter it says 5,5. Hungarian language isn't an indoeuropean language as one would think looking at the map on the languages page. This is however corrected in the country section.
The starting general chapters are truly general and lack some information found in more comprehensive books or atlases. Suitable for young people and for those who are selecting travelling destinations. May act as a starting point in getting to know foreign cultures, but at least in the finnish edition some of the names of the near-by cities are taken from war-time maps, cities which have never in peace-time been part of Finland. A good atlas to buy if you like to travel abroad, and read, a bit, background before your trip.

This is a fine reference work for geography and government enthusiasts. It contains the origins of the Universe, the movement of rocks, human evolution, world theologies and detailed
maps of the heavens and oceans. There are memorable pictures of
Morocco, the West Sahara and the Gobi desert.Individual maps contain an easy-to-use tab/locator, cross-reference schemes,
scalar measurements, country capitals and key projections. The book would be perfect for a class project at any level of academic achievement.
