Part atlas, part travel guide for the business traveler and vacation planner, the Travel Atlas presents planet earth as a place to experience. A gazetteer lists not only political and physical statistics on each country, but also facts on its climate, cuisine, languages, medical service, and entry requirements.

Summary: Excellent Overview
Comment: This book is an excellent general atlas with beautiful maps and helpful descriptions of interesting areas for each country. It is mainly an atlas first and therefore can not go into full descriptions of every area of interest or else it would be much too large and expensive. If you need a more thorough travel guide I would suggest you purchase one for an individual country, which can go into much more detail. For what this is intended for though it its a real treat. Great book.

Summary: Only average for either atlas or travel guide
Comment: I'm a huge fan of maps and an avid traveler, so I was eager to get my hands on this Atlas from the publishers of the Eyewitness Guides series.
Unfortunately, it's disappointingly mediocre. The maps are light on detail and rather plain, the travel information is superficial, and about half the book is index pages for the low-detail maps. So it turns out to be both a poor atlas, and a not very good travel guide.
It's not terrible either, but not worth the money. If you'd like to browse through country information from a traveler's perspective, try Lonely Planet the Travel Book: A Journey Through Every Country in the World . There are also many fine atlases out there, such as the classic from National Geographic National Geographic Atlas of the World, Eighth Edition.
This one is not recommended.
