Rand McNally's Cosmopolitan World Atlas is a beautiful illustration of what atlases are all about. There are plenty of additional tables providing populations and zip codes for U.S. cities, and statistics on the countries of the world, but the core of the atlas is its maps, and they are splendid. There are 160 full-page color maps that are easy to read, and above all, easy on the eyes (a surprisingly rare atlas quality). Color borders distinguish country from country and state from state, and the topography gradations don't interfere with the clean lines and legible place names. Cosmopolitan World Atlas is the standard against which other atlases should be compared. --- Amazon.com.
