As an aside, we just got the new National Geopgraphic Atlas as a
(requested) early Christmas gift - if you haven't seen it yet, it is
fabulous, by leaps and bounds one of the most amazing documents I have
laid eyes on. When I have a few minutes to spare, I am able to sink
into that book, pore over it's contents and dream myself to distant
lands...

The "Times Atlas" - Comprehensive Edition is also an excellent resource.
