 Drawn from the most advanced digital mapping technology available September 6, 2008
The world of 2008 may be different from the world of 2007. "Goode's World Atlas", world renown and widely used by educational professionals at the college level, is back with the twenty first edition of its atlas. This new edition contains maps regarding topics such as the spreading HIV infections, the advancement of Women's rights, among other topics. It also features expanded features of older versions, such as more in-depth demographic maps for the United States. Drawn from the most advanced digital mapping technology available, "Goode's World Atlas" is the leader of atlases, highly recommended for anyone in the market for an atlas, or must be on the bleeding edge of knowledge in this subject.
 Is Goodes Good? March 11, 2008

Goode's atlas is lacking in cohesiveness. The maps often are bound so far into the page it is difficult to find a map item that is close to the inside edge of the page. A map of a country often does not have the same detail for a bordering country on the same page (example: I would expect to see the area surrounding Basel, SW on the maps of Germany or France). I would also have liked to see a single map devoted to an single country for most countries (a map of Spain and Portugal is common, but a map of Italy should show only Italy and portions of bordering countries).

I have always used Rand Mcnally maps of the US. When I wanted a comprehensive world map, I chose the Rand Mcnally, Goode's World Atlas. I found it to be an excellent work of reference. It provides information for many aspects of each nation, from crops and climate to political persuasion.
This book is a valuable addition to my 'library'.
#1 world atlas for a reason March 9, 2008
Great book. I'm using it for my current geography class and the map scales and legends are easy to understand.
Goodies World Atlas February 29, 2008
There is much more detail than I expected in this atlas. I could not believe how many cities, with the locations, were in it. I fly planes on
my flight simulator and, now, I can know exactly where I am while on
my flight path. IT IS GREAT.
