5-0 out of 5 stars excellent referance
I haven't even looked at the cd yet and I am in love with this book its everything its cracked up to be

5-0 out of 5 stars Best of the bunch
I had been looking for a good book of reproducible Bible maps and charts for use in Bible Classes for a while. The reviews I read were pretty sketchy, so I finally bit the bullet and bought three different books by three different companies: Regal, Nelson, and Tyndale. None of them were bad, but one stood out as the best.

Regal's "What the Bible Is All About: Reproducible Maps, Charts, Timelines, & Illustrations" was basically just the same maps, charts, etc. that are in NIV Study Bibles, plus some illustrations suitable for a children's Sunday School class. While the perforated pages were nice, it was generally not what I was looking for.

"Nelson's Complete Book of Bible Maps & Charts" was trying too hard to do too many things. It has some decent maps and charts, but an awful lot of the book is consumed with Bible commentary and outlines. I already have textual commentaries... I really wasn't looking for more. Add to that the fact that it's difficult to get a clean photocopy/scan out of the book, and the whole thing was rather disappointing.

"The Tyndale Handbook of Bible Charts and Maps" was absolutely perfect for my needs. It has lots of material. The maps are clear and easy to read. The charts cover useful topics that you will likely want to cover in an adult Bible class. And the sections of commentary are presented in condensed tables suitable for handouts or teaching from. Best of all, the accompanying CD includes high-resolution PDF's of the ENTIRE book. You can print out a crystal clear copy of any page, or cut/paste any element into Powerpoint without the hassle of tearing out pages, making photocopies, or scanning into the computer. Simply put, this book is the PERFECT Bible Class resource for any pastor or teacher.

5-0 out of 5 stars Great Book
The Tyndale Handbook of Bible Charts and Maps is a wonderful book. I actually purchase this book, because my Pastor and Asst. Pastor has this book to help them study. I really love this book, because the charts and graphs are really helpful in helping me study my bible. And, I must say that the CD is a plus!!!

5-0 out of 5 stars An essential tool for the college-search
We are planning on spending time this summer looking at colleges, and this map listing most colleges will be an essential tool as we try to make the most of the time we have. Although we will have to use a more detailed map in conjunction with this map, at least now we have a good idea how close -- or far away -- two colleges in the same state are.

4-0 out of 5 stars A good reference!!!
My only criticism of this map is that there were a few four-year schools which were missed. (Especially in California)That aside, this is an excellent reference for someone who is applying to colleges, or is looking for a job.I really like the fact that schools are designated as 'public' or 'private', and whether they are religiously affliated, or specialized.

The description of this map was not clear and I would never have ordered it had I known that.I would like to exchange it, but, don't know how to do that.

3-0 out of 5 stars Fine if you get others with it to fill in the blanks
This map is fine if you need a wide-shot of the island, but if you want to really explore and want a map with every conceivable attraction/waypoint marked, you should buy The Ready Mapbook of West Hawaii and The Ready Mapbook of East Hawaii (depending on where you plan to spend most of your time). These mapbooks were indispensable to us.

5-0 out of 5 stars Best map of the Big Island
We go to Kona every other year and I never, repeat never go there without the most updated version of this map.The detail is essential sometimes to find those hard to find, yet gloriously perfect attractions.It has been the difference between making a five minute hike from a little known, local trail; and a half-hour kahole-buster hike from the more notable access points.

5-0 out of 5 stars Don't leave home without it
I always study a map before I go anywhere.This one is very detailed and shows the elevations.Combined with the guidebook Hawaii the Big Island Trailblazer I was all set for hiking.My advice is study both before you go.There's alot of country to enjoy and I had no trouble locating the bays, lagoons and beaches.Hawaii The Big Island Trailblazer: Where to hike, snorkel, surf, bike, drive

5-0 out of 5 stars Hopefully not outdated
This map was a joy to receive - I was unable to find such a good map when I was in Zimbabwe, and it has enough detail for me to locate friends' villages in some pretty remote areas.

The unfortunate possibility is that the infrastructure in Zim has deteriorated so much that "primary roads" and other information (petrol, medical facilities, banks, etc.) is obsolete.Get the map if you plan to travel there, or simply want to learn more about this once-beautiful country.But also "know before you go" about the current situation. ...

This map was hard for us to find, but sure enough we found it on Amazon.Excellent detail.Most names are in English, which is more difficult to find.

5-0 out of 5 stars Spectacular
This map is a stunning value and a real beauty. The description truly does not do it justice: in addition to the nations listed in the title (and well defined borders for the breakaway provinces of Abkhazia and South Ossetia), the map features much of Turkey's Black Sea coast (down to Lake Van), Russia from Novorossiysk to the Caspian Sea (including contentious provinces like Dagestan and Chechnya), and the north-western tip of Iran.

5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent Map for Planning and Travel
Just returned from extensive visit to the country of Georgia and am pleased to report that this map was an excellent tool for familiarization and planning, as well as being an immense help getting around while there.I also had a larger scale map of Georgia alone, but this map proved more useful since it shows more of the small villages and uses the same Latin spellings as the Georgians do (major cities are also labeled in Georgian). ...

Product Description

Maps are universal forms of communication, easily understood and appreciated regardless of culture or language. This truly magisterial book introduces readers to the widest range of maps ever considered in one volume: maps from different time periods and a variety of cultures; maps made for divergent purposes and depicting a range of environments; and maps that embody the famous, the important, the beautiful, the groundbreaking, or the amusing. Built around the functions of maps—the kinds of things maps do and have done—Maps confirms the vital role of maps throughout history in commerce, art, literature, and national identity.

The book begins by examining the use of maps for wayfinding, revealing that even maps as common and widely used as these are the product of historical circumstances and cultural differences. The second chapter considers maps whose makers employed the smallest of scales to envision the broadest of human stages—the world, the heavens, even the act of creation itself. The next chapter looks at maps that are, literally, at the opposite end of the scale from cosmological and world maps—maps that represent specific parts of the world and provide a close-up view of areas in which their makers lived, worked, and moved.

Having shown how maps help us get around and make sense of our greater and lesser worlds, Maps then turns to the ways in which certain maps can be linked to particular events in history, exploring how they have helped Americans, for instance, to understand their past, cope with current events, and plan their national future. The fifth chapter considers maps that represent data from scientific instruments, population censuses, and historical records. These maps illustrate, for example, how diseases spread, what the ocean floor looks like, and how the weather is tracked and predicted. Next comes a turn to the imaginary, featuring maps that depict entire fictional worlds, from Hell to Utopia and from Middle Earth to the fantasy game World of Warcraft. The final chapter traces the origins of map consumption throughout history and ponders the impact of cartography on modern society.

A companion volume to the most ambitious exhibition on the history of maps ever mounted in North America, Maps will challenge readers to stretch conventional thought about what constitutes a map and how many different ways we can understand graphically the environment in which we live. Collectors, historians, mapmakers and users, and anyone who has ever “gotten lost” in the lines and symbols of a map will find much to love and learn from in this book.

5-0 out of 5 stars One of the greatest map exhibits ever in the US

This book is a catalog for an extraordinary exhibition of over 130 maps at the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago and at the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore (in collaboration with The Newberry Library).

Some of my favorites include:

Photographic road maps produced for the first automobilists. Page by page the photographs show country lanes, farmhouses and churches with arrows indicating the correct route.

The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad of 1906, which shows routes of competing railroads in thin, spindly lines or not at all.

Harry Beck's great 1933 map of the London Underground, which shows none of London's geography except for the Thames.

The 1566 map by Giovanni Paolo Cimerlini showing religious divisions in the shape of a heart joined at the North Pole in the center of the map. ("The heart is such a common icon of love. It is a hopeful sign that there is possibility of universal harmony. The map came at a time when reformation is tearing apart the Christian world and there's conflict with Islam. There were advanced thinkers who were thinking we can all get along. This map is saying, 'Hey, we're all in this together.' It's an expression of hope.")

Others include a 3,500-year-old clay tablet detailing walls, gates and palaces in the town of Nippur in what is now Iraq; three colored drawings by Leonardo da Vinci showing the typography of Europe; the map Charles Lindbergh carried with him on his history-making flight from New York to Paris annotated in his own handwriting; drawings by J.R.R. Tolkien of his fictional Middle-earth; and a deerskin map drawn by members of an American Indian tribe, where circles connected by lines indicate political ties among communities.

Each of the maps is well described, and the individual map descriptions are enhanced by the introductions to each of the seven chapters. They include: "Finding Our Way", James R. Akerman, "Mapping the World", Denis Cosgrove; "Mapping Parts of the World", Matthew H. Edney; "Mapping American History", Susan Schulten; "Visualizing Nature and Society", Michael Friendly and Gilles Palsky; "Mapping Imaginary Worlds", Ricardo Padrón; and "Consuming Maps", Diane Dillon. There is also a list of references, a comprehensive bibliography and an excellent index.

Both the Field and the Walters have very informative websites devoted to the exhibition, with many of the maps illustrated online. (Both institutes usually keep their exhibits online for several years after the exhibit closes.)

Excellent as the online exhibits are, however, holding the book and studying the maps is much more rewarding.

This publication is a companion book to the exhibit which recently closed at the Chicago Field Museum. It stands on its own as a thought provoking look at many different types of maps and the history of maps.I enjoyed the way the information was presented in this book and found a whole new appreciation for maps and the people who have created them.Many of the maps are works of art.

3-0 out of 5 stars Hard to navigate..
I was excited to get this comprehensive atlas of NC (as a gift) after moving here in the fall. Unfortunately, this book was disappointing because of its very non-intuitive organization. Confusing indexing/grid system/ etc. Very hard to find a county/town/park etc. even when you know what you are looking for. I'd recommend going with a NC Rand McNally map from a gas station. The one redeeming point is that if you can find the section you're looking for the book provides very detailed info..

2-0 out of 5 stars Bad formatting
I wish MobiReference had kept the original formatting, where the entries are in boldface and the paragraphs are not indented. The current formatting is more suitable for a novel, and makes it tedious to find specific information, since the key words are set in plain typeface and indented. Also, it would had been great if the regionally ordered table of contents would have been kept, instead of only having the alphabetical listing.

4-0 out of 5 stars Quick and dirty guide to the world
"The CIA World Factbook" is the 'easy button' for statistical data on the nations and territories of the world.

All the nations of the world and many non-nation geopolitical entities are described in a uniformly formated, quantifiable fashion.Geography, population, economics, military, domestic and international issues are all laid out in a succinct and usually quantitative way.Trade relationships, treaties, regional alliances, infrastructure, health data, and many more fields are filled for geographical entities from Russia to Palau.All this is complimented by first rate (although large scale) maps and illustrations of flags.

The utility of this is the uniform format, the clear quantification of most data, and the comprehensive nature of the catalog of geopolitical entities.For example, to do a comparison of health care standards between, hypothetically, the U.S., Cuba, France, and Finland, you could use median age, HIV/AIDS rates, infant mortality, and life expectancy, collectively as a way to compare health care systems in the chosen countries.Not perfect, but certainly context, and a place to begin brainstorming and framing the real questions to ask.For another example, the import/export data could be used to build link diagrams and assess economic dependency between different countries.

The book is a powerful tool for students and others looking at international issues and relationships, but is not perfect.Dates of information must be checked, as not all the information is as of the date of publication.Some data is presented in uniform formats when uniform methodologies to collect and quantify the data were not used.And in all cases, a statistical abstract, while useful, frequently does not provide context or directly provide relationships that are needed to make sense of the data.And while I can see the desire for a hard copy book on your desk, this one is available online, in its entirety, and routinely updated for free.

Despite these limits and issues, this is a powerful reference for students of world affairs.

1-0 out of 5 stars Data inside of the book are old
Personally I don't have the book, I just look at preview here. This is 2010 version of the book, I was looking for UNITED STATES, GDP. I can't find any data for 2009.

What kind of this book is, it got old data? And the more expensive version of the book, there are these datas?

I didn't have to chance to look at The World Factbook: 2010 Edition (CIA's 2009 Edition), I think it got same datas. Too bad, it is in real 2009 version, which got only numbers till 2008. So it is not really new. Where we can find numbers for year 2009 ? Maybe we have to wait for World Factbook 2011.

5-0 out of 5 stars A complete reference book
I can't imagine a most complete book about all nations in the world than this one. If you like foreign policy, or if you work in this field, The Cia World Factbook is just indispensable for your job. Country by country, you will get all information you need about geography, people, government, economy, communications, transportation, military and transnational issues. It's a very good reference tool.

5-0 out of 5 stars I love to learn about other countries, and this is a great way to have a handy resource
CIA World Factbook 2010 - Complete Unabridged Edition. Detailed Country Maps and other information (Mobi Reference)

This is by far the finest, comprehensive and simple to read gathering of world facts. Religions, Literacy Rates, Population, Major Diseases, country-by-country it is all here. This is a great and important resource material to have. It is updated yearly.
I use the ebook regularly and highly recommend it for someone who needs it for school work, crossword puzzles or just to annoy their family with facts. The world is too small not to have access to reliable information on the rest of the world. This is the place to get it. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Ireland driving map
Very useful map for driving in Ireland.Sturdy, laminated composition was easy to use.

5-0 out of 5 stars VERY handy
We brought this map and another bulkier, paper map with us to Ireland.This one won, hands down.Its three best features are: (1) it folds and unfolds VERY quickly and easily -- it is not unwieldy like most larger paper maps; (2) despite its small size, it has enough road details to help you navigate easily all over Ireland if you are self-driving; and (3) it has points of interest all over the map, indicated by symbols listed in the map's legend. ...

1-0 out of 5 stars Do not rely on this map!
Apparently this is the only road map of Ghana commercially available. During four weeks of travel in Ghana I found this map to be full of horrendous errors, some gross ones, others in small detail.
Major roads are simply not shown on this map, such as perfectly good roads leading to Ada Foah, or there are roads shown that do not exist in reality. I came to several towns of very significant size that were barely a dot on the map.
I have the impression that this map is essentially based on maps drawn during colonial times in the 1920's.
The only useful map I encountered in Ghana is a map issued a few years ago as a promotional effort by Toyota Co., but this map is unfortunately no longer available.
The map serves well to obtain an overview of the geography of Ghana, and once this is done, one should rely on the small but detailed and usually very accurate maps in travel guide books. I used the Bradt Guide for this trip and was very well served.

1-0 out of 5 stars Ridiculously Oversized
Ghana is a small country. Yet this map is ridiculously oversized, with the northern half of the country on one side and the southern on the other. That makes it unnecessarily difficult to plot a trip when you can't see the entire country on one side. A country this small and mostly rural doesn't require a great deal of detail. The map covers up my whole dining table when I spread it out. For that reason it's very frustrating and hard to use.

Unfortunately, you may not be able to find another Ghana map. I've been looking, and this one seems to be the only one available.

4-0 out of 5 stars Nice map, with a couple of shortcomings
Easily readable large-scale map of Ghana.One side depicts the southern half of the country, the other side the north.I can't vouch for the entire map, but the areas I've visited appear to be accurately depicted.It could be improved on two points:First the ancient historic mosques (e.g.; the famous one in Larabanga) are not marked, either as historic sites or as mosques.Furthermore, this the first map I've ever seen that lacks any mileage information, either using a scale of miles, or by noting distances between points.But since it's marked as 1:500000 scale, the math works out to 1cm = 5km.Handy to know that. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars Great map, survived all the bad handling during my trip!
As many before me said this is very good map to have a general idea of where you are and which way you want to go! It is not very detailed but for my purposes it was sufficient and lasted the whole trip without a tear.

4-0 out of 5 stars good travel map
good map; sturdy & flexible; includes much of Nepal; photographs not very useful or entertaining; would rather have picture space used by mileage table or quick facts about geography of country

5-0 out of 5 stars Int'l Travel Maps (ITMB) are the Best!
ITMB maps are excellent.We have purchased ITMB maps on several previous occasions for various countries... and have never been disappointed in their accuracy and ease of reading. I look forward to getting to use my India map this summer!

4-0 out of 5 stars Great for travel but not suitable to put up on the wall
I brought this map mainly to put it up on the wall - but its not designed for that. The map is on both sides of the paper - divided by regions. Its water-proof and does not tear easily - so its great if you want to use it as a driving guide.
