I do not disagree with the atlases suggested so far, but I am not real happy with any atlas on the market when it is to be used as Darius suggests. As another direction what about a CD-ROM atlas??? The first digital atlases were not very good but what about DeLorme's new atlas "Global Explorer" I have not seen it, but if it is produced at the level of their "MapExpert" it might just do for a household with some geographical literacy and a computer. Those that have seen "Global Explorer" might want to reply to this. Johnnie Sutherland University of Georgia
