5.0 out of 5 stars
Perfect basic reference,
This review is from: Quick Reference World Atlas (Paperback)
I looked at many small world map books before deciding on this one and I'm thrilled. I keep it at my desk to refresh my memory when reading history books, or listening to news on the radio. There are larger maps to give a good overview, then "zoomed" pages to give a closer look at a particular area. Obviously a book this size will not contain detailed maps of a small country. If you are seeking that kind of information you need a larger atlas.

Everyday Reference Atlas for College Students,

This review is from: Quick Reference World Atlas (World Atlas / Quick Reference) (Paperback)
With colleagues I have taught the first term of a huge (800-student) freshman college world-civ class each year for the last twenty years or so. We have always assigned a reference atlas, and although we have tried various ones, this is the book we keep coming back to. It is cheap, indexed, up to date (revised pretty much constantly, although without always changing the ISBN), and sufficiently detailed to be consistently handy. One can always wish for more --it'd be nice if it showed Indian states and made Chinese provinces clearer, for example-- but in these days when it is easy to get additional detail as needed from the Internet, a small, easily grabbed first reference is more important. When we have tried smaller atlases the detail was inadequate. Larger ones seemed wasted because they went beyond most of our needs. This one has always been pretty much "just right."

Roughly half the space in this atlas is devoted to domestic USA maps. In purchasing the "World Atlas" I was looking for much more detail of the foreign nations than is provided here in the space allocated. Many cities and towns in the Middle East, for example, are not even identified.
