National Geographic Concise Atlas of the World, 5th edition: Authoritative and complete, with more than 200 maps and illustrations

Surprisingly big, beautiful and comprehensive. Great book. Great value. Love it.

I likd that National Geographic did not push the "climate change" narrative much in this atlas. It's a great book with lots of interesting and useful information.

Beautiful book in terms of print & photo qualities which is to be expected of National Geographic publications. Contents include the world, with physical/topological, socio-political, climate, biodiversity, health, food and many more topics. Map regions include North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, Antarctica (including flags for the respective countries) & Space. There is a comprehensive index and appendix.The binding is very tight, making it hard to see map details within the binding crevice. The atlas looks at continents and countries in largedetail but lacks close-up details of individual countries or states/provinces — hence the word “Concise” in its title. This 5th edition’s copyright date is 2022, and what with the seemingly ever more rapid changes in our world, one wonders how long the social-political information provided will be pertinent.

Chock full of world information. I really needed this! Way better than a globe.Only 1 thing would improve this - a spiral binding so the pages could lie flat.

Just what I wanted. Great price too.

SUPER, SUPER, SUPER, This book should be a required subject in every USofA school 4-7th grade class. Before I purchased this Concise World Atlas, I viewed obtaining a 12" Dia table-size globe when the nationwide subject surfaced very concerning the world evil-doers were looking to move more into the Arctic region.
