As expected, very up to date, authoritative and complete. I would have prefer a less topographical mapface, as as the cities in the more mountainous regions were very hard to pick out (see Switerland, Colorado, Yemen, etc.).

Still,the only Atlas updated every year. (and, whatever happened to Rand McNally's World Atlas??). ( )

Detailed information and maps and beautiful images of countries around the world. ( )
