Title: Atlas Schmatlas
Product review: First let me say that this book has a large number of very pretty 'maps.' If all you're looking for is pretty pictures, this book is for you.That said, I was very disappointed to find no ancillary information with these maps - projection info, scale, date, data source, and vertical exaggeration. All the elements that make a map truly meaninful. Without this information, all these beautiful maps are mearly pictures.I also think it's telling that one of the captions refers to a picture of a squid as a 'giant octopus.' Anyone who has spent more than ten minutes studying the ocean knows the difference between these two animals. This could just be poor editing.Overall, this book was a disappointment.
