Packed with over 60 clearly labeled maps detailing political and state borders, main populations and administrative centers, as well as communication centers and airports, the Essential Atlas is an unbeatable world reference.
Since i never learned geography in school and traveling is my favorite thing to do in the world, this has been the one book that has followed me around for years, and i love every page =)
I read with this book and my magnifying glass next to me. I know a fair bit of geography but I like to know exactly where in a country a town is located.
