Reader Reviews
This review is from: Rand McNally Goode's World Atlas (Hardcover)
Other reviewers are correct in suggesting that this atlas is not the best one for looking sharp on a coffee table or locating a small village in Uzbekistan. But it more than compensates by providing excellent thematic maps, detailing geographic variations in population, annual rainfall, vegetation, language spoken, energy use, tectonic plates, temperatures & landforms, etc. The more basic maps are only modestly detailed; for example, most US states don't have their own page in the atlas, necessitating that while Raleigh, NC would certainly be on the map, the smaller communities of Pittsboro and Zebulon might not. If you want an atlas with an emphasis on thematic reference, this is a very good choice.
