A Faith Like Mine 2 reviews DK Publishing
DK CHILDREN, 2005
Nice colorful introductory book on world religions
Very appealing and interesting for all ages. As a Baha'i, I am delighted that this book actually includes our Faith. We are, after all, the second most widespread religion in the world. It's nice to see that this book, unlike some others, included us and got with the program!

DK Concise Atlas of the World 7 reviews DK Publishing
DK ADULT, 2005
Best one
+ DK Concise Atlas of the World + Well, I think it's pretty good...
I have checked around and if you want detail, DK is the best I could find. Concise has a few less pages but the maps appeared the same, perhaps just less filler
