REVIEW ESSAY: AN ATLAS TO BE READ FROM COVER TO COVER

Preparing for this review I began by scanning the volume and stopping to read several especially interesting maps, finding myself riveted and, it seemed, on a journey of discovery. It has often been said about books, but perhaps never about an atlas, I could not put it down once I had opened it. Nor has any atlas ever enhanced my knowledge of any region as greatly as this one has. There can be no doubt about it: no region, certainly in North America and perhaps in the world, is as well served as is the Great Plains region by this monumental work. Its nearly 30-page bibliography is an invaluable resource all by itself

A Regional Geography of Antarctica and the Southern Ocean

In this article, the author first analyzes the various regional definitions used to delimit the area of Antarctic influence. A brief historical background of Antarctica is followed by a geographical analysis of the Southern Region. The author concludes with an overview of the Southern Region in the world today
