Summary: fine little atlas for the home
Review: This is a very nice atlas to keep around the home. Published in 2000, it is fairly up-to-date. It's lightweight, approximately 8" by 11", and printed in four colors. The cover pages contain interesting geographical lists about the solar system, dimensions of the earth, and information about the continents, oceans, major canals, islands, mountains, rivers and lakes. Maps are organized by geographical regions, and preceded by a two-page world map (Robinson projection). Sections begin with general area maps depicting topography, population, land use and mineral resource information before showing large- and small-scale maps of regions and individual countries. These maps show bodies of water and cities, distinguishing the capitals though they do not incorporate topographical information. Print can be small but the font is clean. The atlas concludes with an index that includes country and geographic feature information. It's pretty remarkable that you can have all this information at your fingertips for a few dollars. This atlas is nicely put together and would make a good addition to your reference shelf.
