National Geographic Family Reference Atlas of the World, Third Edition Review

As an atlas collector, this one rates well. This is a beautiful book with a fantastic durable cover. It's content is current (including newer countries such as Kosovo), providing the reader the necessary information on not just each country of the world, but also territories and every U.S. state. In comparison to National Geographic's Collegiate World Atlas, it does not provide the same cartographic detail as that slightly more compact atlas, but makes up for it with easy-to-read country bio information, including flags. A great buy!

National Geographic Family Reference Atlas of the World, Third Edition Overview

A modern atlas demands not just state-of-the-art cartography but a vast array of information organized clearly, efficiently, and above all, usefully—and that’s what the Family Reference Atlas provides: more than 1,000 maps, illustrations, and photographs; more than 400 charts and tables; and 30 global thematic spreads displaying key facts and figures on everything from biodiversity and the distribution of natural resources to world health and education, global Internet connectivity, and conflict and terror hot spots.

A comprehensive index makes it easy to pinpoint more than 40,000 locations all over the globe. Need to know the population of Brunei, what the weather’s like in San Juan in March, or how to use metric conversions? These answers and thousands more are at your fingertips. Readers learn about the planet itself—landforms, the biosphere, continental drift, environmental change—and the human world’s many dimensions, from political, religious, and economic data to population trends and the effect of globalization. The atlas even reaches beyond Earth to explore the solar system, the Milky Way, and the Universe.

Family Reference Atlas a gem - Sven - Florida
This atlas is a beutiful compact version of National Geographic's bigger atlases, still with many thematic maps on up-to-date topics as well as covering all parts of the globe in impressive cartographic detail. 14 pages of maps and illustration on Space alone present a great visualization of our universe. And as in all of their atlases, I love the quick-find key to the maps on the inside covers (in addition to the extensive index)!
