Hello, all...

I have a faculty request for help identifying electronic versions of various national atlases.  While the U.S. has its atlas online, what about other countries, esp. developing countries?  In particular, has anyone compiled a central site with easy links to available e-atlases?  The professor has an upcoming course on "Urban environmental geography" in which she'd like students to select a city or urban region and report on the "big 5" spheres:  Geosphere, Atmosphere, Hydrosphere, Biosphere, and Anthrosphere.  While many may choose a North American city, there are numerous foreign students who may prefer to tackle something "closer to home"--hence the idea of accessing national atlases that they can use.
