Goode's World Atlas

We have gone through several atlases before finding one that we like. Not sure why it was so hard! I think too many others were trying to appeal to kids by adding pictures and illustrations all over the continents, but if you're actually looking for "Where is country X, Y, Z" This is the way to go.Also- we've all enjoyed looking at the different maps, political, topographical, rainfall, terrain type, religions of the regions, population, etc. This had a lot, but also the basics, and a good index to find what you're looking for.

Good information that I needed with use of my geography textbook.

This atlas was a required book for my World Geo class and it helped me a lot with my assignments and exams.

I'm so pleased to find this version to be as academically inclined as the edition I bought in the 1960's. The specialty maps truly illustrate the cartographer's mantra: "everything can be mapped." I do have a serious complaint about this book and its predecessors, the maps are lost in the closely bound deep gutter. How are we supposed to view what is bound in the gutter and spine without ripping open the book? Also, my copy came with slightly damaged corners. My 94 year old neighbor was lamenting that her atlas was lost in moving, and I thought I'd buy this for her to use as she studies her NY Times. Well, this atlas remains geared toward the scholar's use. Another atlas would serve her use much better and with split gutters perhaps she could use all of the atlas; that's impossible now. One addendum, it's a paperback and the hardcover I used for decades held up well; this can't possibly wear as well.

I really like this atlas! It fascinates me that there are numerous types of maps and they are intriguing to look at!

Very helpful clear easy to use

Didn’t read it

This book will work for my class, but it is incredibly beaten up. I would not recommend this for the price unless you are in a time crunch.

I waited a long time for a new version to come out. It is as good as I expected.
