Ying He "heyinb" - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Comparative World Atlas (Hammond Comparative World Atlas) (Paperback)

I browsed the world atlas maps in a bookstore and find this one fit my needs the best. It offers continental (asia, europe, north/south america, ...) graph with various colorshades for population, climate, literacy, GDP, life-expentency....also global graph. Comparative is the best essence of this atlas.

Recommend to buy $20 Financial Times World Desk Reference 2005 (Financial Times World Desk Reference) by Andrew Heritage too because it offers more comprehensive data and each countries. Excellent graph and data.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: The Comparative World Atlas (Hammond Comparative World Atlas) (Paperback)

This atlas provides current information on countries, demographics, statistics, and so much more. Many maps, charts and succinct text. A great gift for the world history student or the reader that enjoys "traveling the world" from an armchair! From a researcher's standpoint, very useful in multiple ways. A small price to pay for an excellent item!
