Prof. Yogis' dictionary proved indispensible during my first year of law school, and I continue to use it throughout second year. When it comes to Canadian legal terminology, this is the dictionary to use.

.Rick Steves' Italy Planning Map: Including Rome, Florence, Venice & Siena City Maps
City Travel Guides > Books > Atlases and Maps
by: Rick Steves

January 05, 2007
I find that Rick Steves' "back door" philosophy and his general tips are sound, so I bought Italy 2006.
The book is promoted as a guidebook to the whole country.
Surprise! It only covers selected tourist centers, and concentrates on the big cities. Most of the towns of southern Italy aren't mentioned. Sicily is not even in the index!

.Our Dumb World: Atlas of the Planet Earth
City Travel Guides > Books > Atlases and Maps
by: The Onion, Brown And Company Ltd. Little

October 30, 2007

Have a quick flick through this book and you might think it was a Dorling Kindersley world atlas. It has all the DK appeal: well produced maps and state flags, interesting photos plus very clean layouts and typography but as soon as you start to read the words you realise your on planet Onion.

The two hundred and two countries mostly get a page each with two pages given to topical (in the American sense) nations like Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Vietnam, North Korea or Cuba for instance. Pages 207-209 covers The Stans: Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakstan. Did you know this last nation has a space programme? Probably not but there is a photo of a rocket strapped to the back of a donkey to prove it.

.Transit Maps of the World
City Travel Guides > Books > Atlases and Maps
by: Mark Ovenden

October 30, 2007
Simply put the whole package is wonderful. The map quality, layout and concept are all A+. The writeups are just the right tone and length for a coffee table style book. For trainspotters and geographers, this is hours of delight. Not sure about the rest of you but would love to hear your opinions on this well-put together book.

.Streetwise Paris Map - Laminated City Street Map of Paris, France: Folding Pocket Size Travel Map with Integrated Metro Map Including Lines & Stations
City Travel Guides > Books > Atlases and Maps
by: Streetwise Maps

2008-01
This map got us everywhere we wanted to go in Paris for our 1 week visit. I began using it right off the plane when our shuttle driver didn't know where our apartment was. We used it to keep the rain off our heads, and put it down on dirty benches to protect our clothes. The metro map meant that we never took a wrong train. We spent most of the week on foot and every street we were on was in the map. Most of the items and guides I brought along were looked at in the room before we left every morning, but this map was always with us.

.Streetwise London Map - Laminated Center City Street Map of London, England: Folding Pocket Size Travel Map
City Travel Guides > Books > Atlases and Maps
by: Streetwise Maps

2007-09
The Streetwise London map is very convenient if you limit yourself to central London and only need to find important attractions and/or streets of major or moderate significance. But many smaller streets in central London are NOT even named on the map and are not listed in the index. This was definitely a problem for me in finding smaller hotels, restaurants, etc. and lesser tourist attractions. In addition, the map includes some decent subway information, but nothing about buses. The reason for these inadequacies appears to be that the map is not detailed enough for there to be room to label the smaller streets and lesser tourist attractions. In summary, I suspect that this map will work better for first-time visitors than for repeat visitors.

Having researched most atlases at both public and university libraries, I am in the position to state this is the best atlas in the world, best of the best. Although I am only talking about the atlas quality and not the price.
