Sixth edition. Rather than reporting on individual countries, the continents are divided into regions, such as Western Europe and Central Asia. At the back of the book, each country’s flag, area, population, etc. is listed. The first 55 pages, are a series of graphs and illustrations comparing the whole world. I was fascinated! I was surprised to learn that widespread use of technology and internet were attributed to English surpassing Mandarin Chinese as having the largest population of speakers. National Geographic is a recognized authority in mapping excellence and this is a solid atlas choice. I particularly liked that each continent was shown as both a physical and political map.
