I can always find my way when lost, and they really do a great job of showing detail that you wouldn't expect, even in metro areas. They show the most random and remote Forest Service or BLM roads, ...

David Cruise Malloy, Saul Ross, ...

Thompson Educational Publishing, Inc., 2003

Sport has always presented participants, administrators and observers with a wide and often bizarre array of ethical dilemmas. They take on a special edge, perhaps because the sport personalities are usually well known as are result of the extensive media coverage of sporting events. We look in astonishment and horror at such things as the judging debacle in the pairs figure-skating event at the 2002 Olympic Winter Games, the not-too-distant ...

Baja California Road & Recreation Atlas

2 reviews

Esparza Editores, 2007

Small with lots of Advertising
I didn't get this in time for my trip, but when I was in Baja I saw many copies down there for $10. I'm glad I didn't buy this one as the pages are very small and you have to flip through a number of them to get a good feel for longer distances. Also, the atlas is full of advertising and I found this to be distractive. I saw someone's AAA map and it looked great!
