Oy. Great concept. But. Far too much text for an 'atlas.' Maps difficult to decipher, poorly designed. Fonts small. Basically the editor tried to cram all that history into one book, instead of being either selective or thorough. And the section that I know from my own forebears, Scandinavian & Northern European of the upper Midwest in the late 19th century, is not actually accurate.

No way am I reading all the text. I'm paging through, getting what I can, but so far I've not even discovered show more anything that is *either* new to me, *or* sufficiently interesting, to prompt me to do further investigation.

Oh, and it's from 1995, so, yeah, not current.
