the geology nerd's first choice,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Great World Atlas (Hardcover)
If you're looking to find a specific small town in Europe or Africa, the Times Atlas is better because more of its pages are devoted to road maps and the maps are more cluttered. This DK atlas devotes many of its pages to physical geography, inset explanations of interesting phenomena (e.g., Niagara Falls), and satellite photos. The night-time satellite photos are very useful because they show population density. The Great World Atlas is nice for planning trips, figuring out whether a potential vacation spot is near interesting geographical features such as a group of hills, and thinking about regions of the world.This book would make a fabulous gift because of its lavish printing.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Best ever map, barring none,
This review is from: The Great World Atlas (Hardcover)
I thought the National Geographic World map was pretty good, until I boght the DK version. As with almost everything DK, it is simply the best. The information is complete, well presentes and easy to follow. Don't let this book's massive size put you off. It is worth every penny and more.
