I bought this book thinking that I was just getting a book of maps of the several countries of the world. But this tome is as much an encyclopedia as it is an atlas! One cannot look at one of its maps without taking away some cultural, political, historical, and even geological, pearls that add greatly to the understanding of the original inquiry.

This is just what I was looking for except the images should have been centered
