In these days where Google has taken over reference books, this atlas will remain geography treasure for a long time. In its 14th Edition, the heart, and strength, of this atlas remains the hundreds of colorful, beautifully detailed maps, conveying not only topographical features but also disputed boundaries, railways and principal roads. The latest revision of Oxford's highly acclaimed Atlas of the World is as up-to-date as can be in the post-September 11 world. "Site of former World Trade Center" says one caption on an updated map of lower Manhattan- and Baghdad has been added to the 67 maps of major cities around the world. Statistics on the U.S. have been updated from the 2000 Census, and a new Gazetteer of Nations offers easy reference. This lovingly inscribed treasure will provide hours of happy, fascinating browsing.
