I use the world atlas twenty times more than anything else besides the Spokane yellowpages and it has failed to disappoint only a handful of times. I've counted the number of cities in China with populations over a million (61) and the Rhineland village south of Cologne where the Fergens lived before South Dakota (Gladbach). I traced the trends of the 2004 presidential election over the agricultural map of the United States and found it very, very interesting. When someone tells a story of where they were born or where they've been, it is simply better to look at a map. It's like seeing a picture of your friend's ex they have only described - only better. I full-heartedly recommend this to anyone who knows anybody who is anywhere. Or anyone who has gone anwhere themselves. It's proof.
