The most detailed physical world atlas available Frank Paris I've been collecting atlases for over 30 years, including three different editions of this one. I still have the 8th edition, and now I've lived with the 10 edition for a couple months and am ready to state my opinion, and compare it to previous editions.First, I'd like to make a general observation about these Times Atlases. They have all carried about 20% of their maps in a vertical orientation. This is all right in atlases that are of a more manageable size, but for a book that weighs 11 pounds, it is burdensome to be flipping it around every few pages. I just had to get that out. "Overall--excellent but needs a magnifying glass" according to Michael Low (mikelow@msn.com). Having owned the 1975, 1980 and 1990 editions of this atlas, I have waited for much anticipation for this new edition.

One set of fonts is used. Expensive, but worth it David Rasquinha If, like me, you love and can spend hours poring over a map, then the Times Atlas will blow you away. A massive heavy tome (well it maps the whole earth after all!), it is meant to be laid flat on the carpet while the reader sprawls on his / her stomach to browse. The most important thing about an Atlas, apart from accuracy, is that it should be up to date and the Times scores high here. The maps are large, the colors gentle and easy on the eye, the print quality is superb. Some of the text is sadly a bit small for my aging eyes but the maps, which most readers will concentrate on a
The extraordinarily extensive front matter continues with a "Gazetteer of Nations" that has been comprehensively checked and updated to include recent economic and political changes, and a 48-page "Introduction to World Geography," beautifully illustrated with tables and graphs on numerous topics of geographic significance, such as the geology and atmosphere of Earth, food and water supply, biodiversity, energy, global conflict, human health, and standards of living.
