At $22 the price may look like a bargain, and the Bartholomew name conveys the strength of the world-maps section and its index, but the choice of "facts" in the "Continental Profile" sections is a strange agglomeration.
In the "World Environment" section, although the layout is clearer than the rest, five color pages are squandered on redundant, contradictory material solely about climate.
