National Geographic Concise Atlas of the World, Second Edition

National Geographic Society

National Geographic, 2007

Nice thin paperback
I bought this product for two high school aged relatives. The maps are excellent and the information is clearly presented. For the cost, I thought it was an excellent value. Be aware that this is not a very thick volume and as it is paperback, I'm a little concerned ...

best of the central asian atlases for the money
This is a nice atlas with useful information, even though it is not full color. Simply put, there are no competing atlases about Central Asia costing less than $150, so this is your only option if you're interested in the area.

New Concise World Atlas

Oxford University Press

Oxford University Press, USA, 2007

Great for research
I bought this atlas because I wanted one as up-to-date as possible (in light of political boundaries and such), and wanted something to accompany a globe I have. There is a lot of useful information at the front of the atlas, so it's not just a book of maps. I use it ...

Netter's Concise Atlas of Orthopaedic Anatomy (Netter Basic Science)

Jon C. Thompson

Saunders, 2001

Great for Physical therapists
This is a great, small book that can be used for quick reference when working with orthopedic patients. The pictures are small but it is not meant as a true anatomical atlas. It includes some nice x-rays, plenty of common pathological conditions and a few quick tests.

Hammond Concise Atlas of World History

Hammond World Atlas Corporation, 2001

Best of the paperback, modestly sized atlases.
Well, that says it. If you don't want to go the massive, hardcover route of a slightly dated (1993), but superior Times Atlas of World History, then this is the one to get. Barraclough edits both.

DK Concise Atlas of the World

DK Publishing

DK ADULT, 2005

Best one
I have checked around and if you want detail, DK is the best I could find. Concise has a few less pages but the maps appeared the same, perhaps just less filler

The Times Atlas of World History (Hammond Concise Atlas of World History)

Hammond World Atlas Corp, 1993

The fifth edition has a different title
Note that the latest (1999, 5th) edition is called the "Hammond Atlas of World History," and is available at Amazon.com. There is no mention of "Time" anymore, causing possible confusion. It is superb.

HarperCollins Concise Atlas of The Bible

James B. Pritchard

HarperOne, 1997

detailled atlas
this atlas covers many topics, eras, places, etc. not covered in usual Bible atlas. Some parts are liberal, with some displaced and unsound attacks on inerrancy. Yet it is a good tool. An even more detailled atlas would be the Time Atlas. A less detailled atlas, but ...
