This is further to the discussion regarding "world atlases".  The
New York Times Book Review for December 20, 1992, carried as its
lead article "Enormous Changes on a Small Planet" by John Noble
Wilford.  In this he reviews the Hammond Atlas of the World, the
National Geographic Atlas of the World, the New York Times Atlas
of the World, the Oxford Atlas of the World, Today's World (Rand
McNally), and the Economist Atlas of the New Europe in essay form.
It was useful to one patron not too long ago in deciding upon an
atlas for home use.
