5.0 out of 5 stars
Great resource for educators, researchers, and anyone with an interest in understanding the makeup of the country., January 29, 2008
This review is from: Census Atlas of the United States (Hardcover)
This large-format, full color atlas is packed with information on a wide variety of topics all based on Census 2000 data. The chapters are subject based, which makes it relatively easy to find the information in which you are interested, even without consulting the well designed index and table of contents.
Many of the topics covered in the chapters are pertinent to serious issues facing the country today. Specifically, the chapters on migration and language contain nearly two dozen maps, each of which visually represents dozens of stories of interest and possible use to journalists and policy-makers. Everyone who picks up the atlas will come up with a different question because of something they see in the maps.
Anyone with an eye for map design, with an interest in demographics, or who is a policy maker, researcher, policy-maker, public official, and, most importantly, social science educator should have a copy of this atlas.
