What I Needed October 3, 2008
This is just what I needed for a course I'm teaching. Lots of information in a compact form. Sometimes too compact, I need a magnifying glass for some maps, but it does the job.
 I hoped for better September 13, 2008
Roughly half the space in this atlas is devoted to domestic USA maps. In purchasing the "World Atlas" I was looking for much more detail of the foreign nations than is provided here in the space allocated. Many cities and towns in the Middle East, for example, are not even identified.
Everyday Reference Atlas for College Students August 22, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
With colleagues I have taught the first term of a huge (800-student) freshman college world-civ class each year for the last twenty years or so. We have always assigned a reference atlas, and although we have tried various ones, this is the book we keep coming back to. It is cheap, indexed, up to date (revised pretty much constantly, although without always changing the ISBN), and sufficiently detailed to be consistently handy. One can always wish for more --it'd be nice if it showed Indian states and made Chinese provinces clearer, for example-- but in these days when it is easy to get additional detail as needed from the Internet, a small, easily grabbed first reference is more important. When we have tried smaller atlases the detail was inadequate. Larger ones seemed wasted because they went beyond most of our needs. This one has always been pretty much "just right."
Great maps of the U.S. November 22, 2000
17 out of 18 found this review helpful
This reference not only has an excellent 2 page spread of the continental United States but also has expanded detail of the eastern, central, and western states. The rest of the world maps are good but not as crisply done as in Merriam Webster's Notebook Atlas, a good companion to this volume. Both are great bargains.
Best I've found for BASIC student info.... November 6, 2000
22 out of 22 found this review helpful
As a public librarian I deal often with students, K-12, who are looking for basic simple maps to draw and otherwise use for reports. This book is the simplest and most straight forward that I've found. There is a 2 page spread of the continental United States that has been copied more times than I can count. Great for what it is--four stars to draw attention to the fact that it is NOT a comprehensive resource, but instead, as the title states, it is a terrific "quick reference".
