Rand McNally Goode's World Atlas 21st EditionUser Review: - Is Goodes Good?Goode's atlas is lacking in cohesiveness. The maps often are bound so far into the page it is difficult to find a map item that is close to the inside edge of the page. A map of a country often does not have the same detail for a bordering country on the same page (example: I would expect to see the area surrounding Basel, SW on the maps of Germany or France). I would also have liked to see a single map devoted to an single country for most countries (a map of Spain and Portugal is common, but a map of Italy should show only Italy and portions of bordering countries). User Review:  - a world tourI have always used Rand Mcnally maps of the US. When I wanted a comprehensive world map, I chose the Rand Mcnally, Goode's World Atlas. I found it to be an excellent work of reference. It provides information for many aspects of each nation, from crops and climate to political persuasion. This book is a valuable addition to my 'library'. User Review:  - #1 world atlas for a reasonGreat book. I'm using it for my current geography class and the map scales and legends are easy to understand. User Review: - Goodies World AtlasThere is much more detail than I expected in this atlas. I could not believe how many cities, with the locations, were in it. I fly planes on my flight simulator and, now, I can know exactly where I am while on my flight path. IT IS GREAT. User Review: - Good, Concise AtlasI really like this atlas and I can foresee using it in my classroom when I start teaching in a couple of years. It is full different maps and data. It is very thorough in overall continent and the maps show a large amount of detail. There are some negatives to it though. Rivers and other points of interest are hard to find for the most part. Some parts of the world aren't shown in much detail as far as a larger scale representation. Overall, I think this is a good atlas that I will use for many years (or until a new edition comes around). I would recommend it. |
