This atlas gets constant use. It sits right next to my desk for all those times when you just need to know what the highest five mountains in the world are, or what the population of Djibouti is. I have yet to encounter a general geographical or basic demographic question the Answer Atlas can't handle. Its very easy to use, and all the maps are tremendous.

Contains maps for just about everthing from population density to average income to lifetime expectancy (for the US, at least. Other countries and continents are presented in detail, but not to the same extent as the US). Also contains a section with every nation's flag and a few tidbits of information, neatly presented. The front has questions and answers about each of the continents, and there is a section containing graphs and charts that compare just about everything geographical.

A great reference for students and adults, especially those who take pride in knowing the answers to obscure questions.

Although booked as a student book, I found it a very interesting way to get a few facts on all the countries. Not overwhelming but has a lot of good facts presented in a easy to follow manner. The kids love it too!!

I purchased this atlas to teach world geography to jr. high students and it is fantastic. Each student also has one and they have a terrific time using it and discovering new facts. It is also extremely easy to use. I wish I purchased this years ago.

This book is very interesting and educational. I bought it for my 3rd grade child. She went through it right away when she got it two years ago. She still likes to read it when she is now 5th grade.
