Title: Nice accessible atlas. . . .
Review: A serviceable world atlas, if one wants to get a sense of the geography of different regions. The advantage is that all portions of the world are covered.

The advantage is that all portions of the world are covered. By focusing at the regional level (e.g., North central Europe, Southern Africa, Arctic region), one does not get quite the detail desired. Also, the wording is pretty small (making it a bit harder to read as one's eyes grow somewhat weaker with age!).Some additional and useful features: a nice index, flags and statistical information on countries of the world, world statistics (such as longest rivers, tallest mountains, etc.). For instance, what is the second highest mountain in the world (after Everest)? One gets the answer to that question here (see page 13).
