The atlas contains comprehensive coverage of the countries and oceans of the world, together with an eight-page world statistical section. There are clear and colorful continental thematic maps illustrating a variety of subjects as well as world maps on motivating topics such as cyberspace, globalization, alliances, and the world's most exciting holiday destinations. Easy-to-use features include a multi-access contents page, a two-color index of place names, and flags of the world at a usable size. This is an ideal resource for geography.
