The first two pages have a very quick introduction, a couple of pictures, some statistical bars and text.
Then, two pages for a political map of the world and then another couple of pages for a physical map.
In the following pages, for evey continent (North America, South America, Africa, Europe, Asia, Oceania and Antarctica), they include a two page introduction (photos and text), and following that are the maps for each continent: 1)physical, 2)political, 3)population density and 4)vegetation - one page for every map.
At the end, a section with flags of every country in the world.
NOTES
-Asia may look a little tight in one page, but it fulfills the expectations anyway.
-In political maps, they include mostly 2 or 3 cities by country (not for North America: it shows many more cities).
-North America has a little more detail: it includes an extra page showing the states which make up every country (Canada, U.S. and Mexico) so there we have 3 additional pages.
- It is published by Mc Graw Hill, but it clearly has National Geographic maps.
- And dont' forget: It is in well-written Spanish.
WHY I BOUGHT IT
I was looking for a very simple, but also an "adult" atlas for one of my kids, not an atlas with pictures like eskimos in the arctic, elephants in Africa or funny pictures around. This is because I wanted him to understand what a political, physical, demographical map is, without the overwhelming information of larger atlases (like The Times 11th, National Geographic 8th etc.) which made him lost the point over each map intention.
And I was thrilled when I found this atlas to be exactly what I was looking for, I really did't expect to find with such precision what I was looking for. My kid was able to see the whole picture over each continent general data, without browsing pages and pages of information. And he really loved the flags section.
