The world in your hands: superb
When I first saw Collins World Atlas I was ready to discard it along with many other atlases in use in England over the past 10 years, because the makers of decisions had dictated that we should all think in metric even as our roads and brains work in imperial. However, Collins have the sense to realise that the world, for the most part, uses both systems of measurement, and prints this excellent atlas accordingly: All maps are scaled in both miles and KM. But that's only one of the many great points of this book. Satellite photos of unexpected places and features bring it alive as no other atlas I have seen, and it is, of course, politically right up to date.
