National Geographic Atlas of the World

THE A5 REVIEWOur favorite atlas comes from National Geographic, published to celebrate the 100th anniversary of National Geographic geography. This tenth edition atlas simply packs a ton of information, including of course illustrated maps but also great insights and graphics on global themes like population trends, climate change, and the world economy. There is a ton of information on all 195 countries, with an exhaustive name-place index. The book itself is very well constructed, with a nice cover that includes a double sided map of the world today contrasted with the first world map published as a supplement to National Geographic Magazine in 1922. Makes an excellent gift for college graduates and those who like to travel.
