It features maps combining both vivid colours (hypsometric) and relief shading that make it superior to most world atlases that I have seen in the past 10 years of atlas comparisons. The way that geographic information is presented from a graphic design standpoint is unique and quite striking. Throughout the entire atlas every illustration and map "bleeds" off of the page using all of the available page space similar to the style used by the National Geographic atlas. This would be an excellent atlas for home or a family.
