 Oxford Atlas of the World, 13th Ed. March 9, 2007

This is a beautiful book. The maps are very usable, and the satellite photos are spectacular. I wish there was more info about the photos.

I love the satellite views of the world. I love the section that shows the maps of each country, a section that shows where the country is located, and an overview of the history, politics, and general information about the country. Lots of good information in this atlas and very easy to follow.

This appears to be a quality publication but I find the type a little harder to read than others I have seen. It's a nice size, but towns are not as easy to find as other, larger maps. I have not yet had reason to use the printed information in the front and the back.

When you make use of a product from Oxford University Press, you assume a high standard in content, presentation, and physical quality.
OUP's Atlas of the World hits the mark in all three categories.
This handsome, large, and pleasingly *heavy* volume sits in an easily accessible place in my den where it is frequently pulled off the shelf for family consultation.
The maps are of course splendid, but that hardly bears comment. What *is* surprisingly helpful is the 'geographical glossary' and the sheer quantity and detail of the 'index to world maps'. If you can't find your city or region in this index, it's got to be 'blink-or-you'll-miss-it' size.
I haven't decided yet whether the love of maps is born into a person or if it can be acquired.
It doesn't really matter. If you've got it, you'll love the Oxford Atlas of the World. Don't plan on taking it with you, though. It's not meant for mobility. It *will* prove an invaluable and informative ornament to your home and, if it gets its due, be a frequent helper in finding that remote place Uncle Harry's car burnt up in.

Maps and other information is highly detailed, colorful, current, and informative. Most would be pleased to own this valuable piece of reference material.
