[Chad Lamb · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is my go-to atlas now (mostly because it's current). The format's not as satisfactory as my childhood atlas. It's harder to find which page the country I'm looking for is on and also the organization is a little screwy at times. Still, great facts and figures on each country and amazing satellite photos of the world in the front of the book. Great atlas.

How atlas is it when you can not find PERSIAN GULF in it?
