I have checked around and if you want detail, DK is the best I could find. Concise has a few less pages but the maps appeared the same, perhaps just less filler

The book was a gift for a young person who from what i was told found the book very interesting and helpful.
Well, I think it's pretty good...

Maybe I have a different book than the other reviewers? I find the quality quite good for the price; the maps are very attractive with lots of detail; the explanations of world regions are really interesting. Just look at the pages for a region you don't know very well, in my case Kazakstan and the other central Asian republics. In twenty minutes I learned a good deal about these areas. Especially useful are the small side-maps with arrows and text showing the main geographical features. For areas I know a lot about (e.g. northern South America) the information seems quite accurate, given the scale. I compared many atlases of similar size and price in the store and this was by far and away the best.
One of the best concise atlases!

Even though the binding may cut off the inner notes and maps, which is somewhat annoying, this book is nevertheless indispensable. A unique feature, the photos and notes are fun, informative, and educational. They tell you geological, cultural, political, and other information. The maps are beautiful and colorful, just what you expect from the well-reputated Dorling Kindersley. Highly recommended!!
