National Geographic Guide to Scenic Highways and Byways, 3d Ed. (National Geographic Guide to Scenic Highways ...6 reviews
National Geographic

National Geographic, 2007

A simply excellent travel guide for America
Even with exorbitant fuel prices, America is still the best bargain for travel bargain. This book proves it, over and over. The photography is simply superb, all in color, and gives the reader a wonderful opportunity to anticipate what might be found along each route discussed. While certain routes, e.g., Woodward Avenue out of Detroit, going north, would not have made my list, this is a minor ...

National Geographic Society

National Geographic, 2006

In-depth and up-to-date excellent reference book
The National Geographic Society is known for producing high quality books and this is a fine example of one of their best works. The book is being promoted using their brand name rather then the names of the authors. I would like to acknowledge the authors Steven Foster and Rebecca Johnson; with Botanical paintings by Jane Watkins and Mary Eaton; and color photographs by Steven Foster. I am ...

National Geographic Adventure Costa Rica (Adventure Maps)4 reviews
National Geographic

Rand McNally & Company, 2001

As good as a Costa Rica map gets!
Maps are a new concept to the culture of Costa Rica, and road maps of the country simply have not existed for that long. Ticos who travel go as far as they know, and then start to ask people for directions. Without a long history of cartography (revisions and updates), it is hard to get a truly good, accurate, map of Costa Rica. Even this map, which is the best we saw, was not really accurate ...

National Geographic Society

National Geographic, 2003

Great Introduction To The National Parks
This is an excellent book to use as a planning guide for trips to any of the National Parks in the US. I have been to many of the parks, and without exception the book's advice about how to get there, when to go, what to look for, etc., is excellent in every way. The book is filled with excellent color photography, and accompanying explanatory text with detailed entrance information that is ...

National Geographic the American Road: Atlas & Travel Planner (NG Road Atlases)6 reviews
National Geographic Society

Natl Geographic Society, 1998

Buy it used -- it's a great atlas
I like roadtrips, and since 1999 The American Road has been an indispensable inhabitant of my car. I can't understand why NG quit producing this atlas...That's a bargain for sure. It's a very study volume. Mine has started to pull away from the binding a bit, but that's to be expected when I throw it around the car all the time. The plastic-like cover is spill-resistant and extremely durable. ... 		  
  







  
  
National Geographic Satellite Atlas Of The World (National Geographic)7 reviews
National Geographic Society

National Geographic, 1998

My number one possession
The National Geographic Satellite Atlas of the World, is a must own for anyone with any amount of interest in geography. Satellite imagery itself is still relatively new, and so the imediate impact of these pictures on a viewer is overwhelming. To look at these images and realize that this one of the many views from space is mystifying. But thats not the only reason to look at these pictures. ... 		  
  







  
  
National Geographic 1999 Deluxe Road Atlas: United States, Canada, Mexico (National Geographic Road Atlas)6 reviews
National Geographic Society

Natl Geographic Society, 1998

Best I've Seen
My friend from Ohio summed it up best: "When I look at it, I can see the roads." As the earlier reviewer says, it blows Rand-McNally away. I was a big RM loyalist until we used the National Geo atlas on a recent drive from New Mexico to Iowa. The major highways and state roads are much clearer on these maps than in the RM, and the national parks are exponentially more visible. It is a pleasure ...

Better than the competition
A nice atlas for long trips or general reference. A little clearer and more detailed than the similar Rand McNally version. The spiral binding is nice, too.

Great Book
I looked for many books out there for my first visit to Paris and this one turned out to be really great. It divides the city well into manageable parts and also has nice outlined walking tours of certain areas to get an overall view of the city. Overall, good information and very useful for a first visit to Paris.

National Geographic Destinations, Antarctica the Last Continent (NG Destinations)3 reviews
National Geographic Society

National Geographic, 1999

Best book on Antarctica I've read
I've been fascinated with Antarctica for some time now, and I recently acquired several books on the continent after seeing the Boston Museum of Science Omni Show, "Shackleton's Antarctic Adventure." Of those books, this is clearly the best. It provides information on the geography and topography of Antarctica, a history of South Pole explorations, and information on the wildlife that populates ...

When I told some French friends that what I have done in France with this book they are almost cry because I have been to some places even ...

National Geographic, 2002

"Women Photographers at National Geographic" is terrific
This book succeeds on several levels. As a book of photographs it follows the National Geographic tradition of high quality photographs printed in the best possible way. As a book on what it takes to be a National Geographic photographer it presents many stories behind the pictures shown. But above all that it presents to young women thinking about this as a career choice, the facts about what ...

NG Guide to Small Town Escapes: Paradise Found
For anyone who enjoys the out-of-the-way small towns and villages, this guide book is a must. It is so well-written that the unique feeling you get about each place compells you to make an actual visit there. A perfect example is the story about Cutchogue, Long Island, New York. After reading so much about the movie stars, the Clintons and other glitterati in the Hamptons on the South Fork ... 		  
  







  
  
National Geographic United States Atlas for Young Explorers: Updated Edition3 reviews
National Geographic

National Geographic Children's Books, 2004

Perfect for Children (and adults)
This is a really nice atlas and gives lots of information, but not so much as to be overwhelming for the 9-12 year-old. I especially appreciated the 2-page spreads of the United States at the beginning of the book, showing topographical features, time zones, territorial growth, federal lands, and more. A glossary, including 2-letter state abbreviations, and a comprehensive index top it off. A ...

The book is organized by area, allowing the reader to focus on a particular area of the state. Lots of pictures and great descriptions provide good information and a good idea of what to expect. I used this book to start planning a trip, and ...
