The only atlas to be updated annually, Oxford's Atlas of the World is the finest international resource of its kind. This milestone 20th edition includes sections on World Statistics, Images of the Earth, an A-Z Gazetteer of Nations with statistics and country descriptions, an index and glossary, and hundreds of city and world maps, many of which have been thoroughly updated for this edition. The 20th edition also includes a new six-page opening section on "The Future of The Oceans," a new spread on food production as part of the "Will the World Run Out of Food?" opening section, six new thematic maps on such fascinating topics as the direction of oil trade and refugee remittances, and seven new satellite images, including of the Panama Canal and Rio de Janeiro.

Paying less than $3.00 for this, I expected a mis-used book in tatters. What a pleasant surprise. The atlas is in mint condition, used only "in-house" at a school library. I realized why the postage was costly when I first held it. Huge and heavy. The maps are detailed and large, and the book contains many pages of world facts. Highly recommended.

Excellent European Atlas
The atlas was written by europeans and does not give good inofrmation on the individual USA states. For the rest of the world it is very good.

What a Bargain
I bought a used library copy of this atlas and it is great. It is one of those huge books in the reference section of the library. It had maps of every thing imaginable. We love to travel and this is a great resource to have at home to chart our travels. The packaging was damaged during shipping so it took a really long time to arrive. It's a really heavy book and it was shipped in a thin cardboard envelope, but the book was unharmed.
