Summary: (Oxford) Atlas of the World
Comment: In choosing a world atlas for my family, I looked at all that were available: from Oxford, National Geographic, Rand McNally, Hammond, DK, and other publishers. This new edition of the Oxford Atlas of the World is clearly the gold standard. Just published, it is of course the most up-to-date atlas available. More importantly, it is accurate and detailed, exquisitely produced (a joy to look at) and very readable. Unlike other atlases, for example, the maps do not run into the gutters. The introductory section containing informational maps and data (country population, income, products, languages, etc.) and stunning satellite photos is virtually a book in itself and worth the price of admission. And for all that one gets, the price is more than reasonable. This is more than a reference book--it's a good read. I highly recommend it.

Summary: WONDERFUL VALUE
Comment: This wonderful atlas is a joy to read, re-read and keep as a family reference resource. The pages are very well laid out, the maps are easy to read, the colors are vivid. The amazingly vast amount of information about planet earth and space contained within its pages is extremely easy to locate. The glossary section is comprehensive and detailed. The 10th edition has upto date information as compared to most other atlases. Since so many borders have changed in the past ten years, I believe this book is an absolute MUST for anyone who has some interest in other parts of the world. I cannot think of a better use for the amount I paid to buy this book and I will recommend it whole-heartedly to students, teachers, writers etc. In comparison with other atlases like National Geographic, Hammond or DK, in my opinion, this book will give you the biggest bang for the buck!

Summary: Comparing with Britannica
Comment: Comparado con el Atlas de la Britannica, este no tiene nada que hacer. La claridad de los mapas, que es la esencia del Atlas, es bastante superior en la Britannica. Poseo la edición del año 1994 y me parece superior.
Lo único que justifica la compra de este Atlas de la Oxford es que trae la información de geografía humana y política más actualizada. Además, lo interesante y útil de los pequeños planos o mapas de las últimas noticias mundiales (en este caso, medio oriente).
Si desea actualizar su Britannica, mejor espere la nueva edición de ese Atlas.
