Book Overview
Dubbed "the information atlas" by librarians everywhere, Oxford's Encyclopedic World Atlas has been completely redesigned to provide much easier access to its wealth of geographical data.
The Fifth Edition is now organized alphabetically, covering each nation on Earth, sequentially, from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe. Every country is profiled in depth, with sections on landscape, climate, vegetation, history, politics, and economy. With each entry is a full-color topographic map drawn by Europe's finest cartographers, combining relief shading and layer-colored contours that convey a superb visual impression of the land surface. The Atlas also offers a wealth of supplemental information--a 16-page section of country-by-country facts, a 32-page World and Continents section, 200 national flags (including their origin and significance), 160 climate graphs, and a 25,000-name index.
Completely up to date, packed with data, and more easy to use than ever, Encyclopedic World Atlas is indeed "the information atlas," an ideal resource for business reports and homework assignments, and the first place to turn to answer questions about the world around you.

I love this atlas!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
It's so easy to use and great for my daughter's book reports. Well worth the money. I think the other reviewer who doesn't like the revision is mistaken.
Excellent pictures & Concise description

A+ 16K big book. Worth every cent spent.I think every scholoar who is global-minded should have one. I like this atlas so much that I sent this as a gift to my college professors who love it very very much. Every-one will love it and after learning from this book you'll no longer feel surprised to some unknown countries/cities and you'll have a cultural/ historical/geographical perspective toward analyzing some happenings.

It has very easy-to-read and concise maps. Also, it has very detailed information for each country's history, geography, and government. Very nice description, and overall a great book!
