About this title

Synopsis

A special children's atlas features maps in three-dimensional perspective, surrounded by beautiful illustrations and informative text blocks, plus a wide-angle landscape scene at the foot of each page, a locator globe, flags of the world, and country statistics.

Reviews

This is an attractive browsing atlas with hand-painted maps that give the feel of an aerial view of the land below. Unfortunately, it suffers from the same oversimplification as most browsing atlases and is not suitable for reference use. Other problems are that portions of the maps near page gutters are hard to read, and the legend lacks sufficient detail. Though it was published in 1994, the revised version is up to date as of December 1997.
