The previous (1991) edition was praised in the December 1991 R&R Book News , and it's easy to see why, from this completely revised edition with fresh maps that enable recent world changes to be accurately and clearly defined. It includes reference maps of continents, oceans, and countries (the large format gives each two-page map a 22x14.75" spread and scale large enough to accurately present important spatial information); individual US state and Canadian province maps; a 69,000 item place-name index; geographical information about the world and the US; and a richly illustrated 32-page section on the state of the world's resources. Buyers are eligible for a free updated world map until June 30, 1994 (such a deal!). 11.25x15" Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
