Book Description

The New Concise World Atlas, Second Edition offers a sweeping look at the world in a fresh, clear manner, opening with six pages of compiled statistics on world population, climate and geography, all important points of reference for the global citizen. The highly illustrated "Earth in Space" thematic section that follows provides a wide-angle overview of the planet, placing the human world in the larger context of the universe. Then, in twenty-two compact yet compelling essays, the Earth's human and natural processes are explained using a balanced combination of informative text, instructive charts and graphs, and vibrant photography and cartography. As part of a suite of annually updated atlases, the second edition offers information the competition lacks: revised province names and boundaries in Denmark, Ethiopia, Indonesia, and Serbia and Montenegro as well as the opening of four new international airports and several major new railroads. Five new city maps, several regional spreads of the United States, and inset maps of island groups such as the Azores, the Seychelles and the Comoros also appear here for the first time. With 128 pages of the latest maps at carefully selected scales, every region from the Arctic Ocean to The Volga Basin is rendered in layer-colored contours, revealing detailed political and topographical information about each of the 192 countries recognized by the United Nations. Mirroring style changes made to the popular Atlas of the World, page number indicators have been added throughout which, along with refined locator windows, allow for easy identification of adjacent map pages. Historical cross-references have also been added to the already comprehensive 55,000-entry index, so that finding specific locations will be effortless no matter which place name is most familiar. Topping off this value-laden resource, a "Regions in the News" element highlights those geographic areas that have struggled with strife and turmoil over the last twelve months. These thematic maps illustrate local ethnic populations and occupied territories, helping to decode some of the issues plaguing Afghanistan, Israel, Iraq, and Sudan. With hundreds of dramatic full-color, large-format maps produced by Europe's finest team of cartographers, the New Concise World Atlas, Second Edition will surely be found on the shelf of anyone concerned with the state of the world.

I bought this atlas because I wanted one as up-to-date as possible (in light of political boundaries and such), and wanted something to accompany a globe I have. There is a lot of useful information at the front of the atlas, so it's not just a book of maps. I use it for reference while taking classes for my masters (logistics and transportation) degree, and my stepson uses it for some of his high-school classes, as well. I think it's an atlas worth sharing with the family to learn geography.

4 out of 5 stars Very well done, but not perfect........2007-06-14

In my opinion, too many of the maps get cut off from the spine of the book, and get cut off in bad places. Also, about 1/3 of it is just reference of place names.

5 out of 5 stars A slick atlas.......2007-03-27

A great book. Able to find even those small towns in my genealogy research.

5 out of 5 stars Learn about the world.......2007-03-11

I bought this for my college-age daughter, who was frustrated when hearing or reading news items that she didn't know for sure where some countries or cities were, and that she just didn't know more about the world. I got her this atlas for her birthday, and she is delighted. She says she had no idea an atlas would have such a wealth of information in it, and not just maps. It was a great choice for her.

4 out of 5 stars Oxford Concise World Atlas.......2007-01-12

Colorfully done--full of interesting information relevant to the "world" and even unto the cosmos, the edge of the "world." The maps are exquisite works of art, and like diptychs, overlap and connect one piece of the "world" to another leaving the reader with a sense that it truly is one "world." Well-priced, and well-done, and well-worth it.

3 out of 5 stars New Concise World Atlas.......2006-07-12

I am very pleased with the Atlas, it is easy to use and very accurate. The size is perfect, magnifing glasses are not needed. I have had some trouble however identifiying & finding rivers & topographical features, perhaps they should be indexed also.

            4 out of 5 stars People teens admire talk about God.......2007-04-13

            Author Amy Hammond Hagberg wanted to help teens--her own and others--answer questions about God, including the big question: "How do you know he's real?"

            Hagberg wrote to sports stars, recording artists and other celebrities, asking them to reflect on their life experiences and share how the reality of God was making a difference to them personally and professionally. The responses she received--from NBA players, Christian musicians, 'American Idol' contestants and others--are honest, revealing, and often compelling.

            The resulting book is a collection of celebrity essays: mini-bios that focus on the reality of God in the midst of media attention, success and failure, and broken relationships. Contributors include Dwight Howard of the Orlando Magic basketball team, quarterback David Carr of the Houston Texans, and popular Christian recording artist Clay Crosse.

            Some of the interviews are especially helpful for Hagberg's original target readers: teens. Among these, Chrissy Conway of 'Zoe Girl' talks about her parents' divorce, the party scene, and the twists and turns along her personal career path in ways that connect with teens and with anyone who has ever considered attempting a career in music.

            Hagberg is a gifted and skilled writer who keeps readers turning the pages as she unpacks celebrity affirmations of the presence of God in their lives. A great gift book for readers from teens through Gen X, but the stories here will interest readers of any age!

            Note: Reviewer Dr. David Frisbie is an author and Executive Director of The Center for Marriage & Family Studies in Del Mar, California.

            Armchair Interviews says: Anything that can help teens understand their role in living a good life is good.

            5 out of 5 stars Celebrities share their faith.......2007-03-11

            This is an ideal book to give to people who have questions about becoming a Christian, and who love sports and music celebrities.

            44 extreme sports and music celebrities tell their stories in this book, from Jonny Lang (recording artist), to Barlow Girl (rock group), Kimiko Soldati (Olympic diving), CJ Hobgood (surfer), Dwight Howard (NBA player, Orlando Magic), Mick Hannah (downhill mountain bike racer), Jimmie McGuire (professional motocross rider) and more.

            They share hard times they faced, how they became Christians and how their paths are more joyful due to their faith. Being a Green Bay Packer fan I turned to Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila's story of growing up in South Central Los Angeles with a tough background, a Muslim dad and a Christian mom, and how his becoming a Christian led to his current happy family life and NFL career. Christian Hosoi, professional skateboarder, after serious drug problems, is now leading a skateboarding ministry.

            The two page "God's Road Map" at the end of each celebrity's story contains perceptive questions and Scriptures. Sports and music lovers will enjoy this book, and it can even be a "past watchful dragons book" that will steer doubting people on a new clear path.

            3 out of 5 stars god unplugged.......2007-02-02


            God Unplugged by Ammy Hagberg was very interesting. It is 403 pages long and was published in 2006 by Destiny Image. In the story top athletes, musicians, and also stars tell how god helped them get where they wanted to be and changed their lives.
            In the story there were 44 celebrity reflections on true life experiences with god. Many of these celebrities have been extremely low in their lives and god has pulled them out of them. Also in some cases they have had no luck in there lives and finally achieved their goals after they gave there lives god. All of these people believe that god has either given them opportunities or even the strength to work through where they were to get to where they want to be.
            I thought that this was a good book. I enjoyed reading it and seeing how god has changed all of these people's lives. The strengths of this book are that it has top named celebrities that people actually want to read about. The weakness of this book is that there is nothing to find out nest so you don't have a reason to keep reading. I did like how god actually gave them the strength to continue and succeed in life. The writing was very boring to me, but I liked the idea.
            The book gave a lasting effect on me because I have a saint Christopher necklace that my grandma gave to me before she passed away and that keeps me safe when I race motorcross. So, I think that god has a great power on us. I would recommend this book, it will make you think.

            5 out of 5 stars After reading this, you certainly KNOW he is real!.......2007-01-25

            Truly, this, and the book before this, are really awesome books!
            ** Why?
            Because they give some very good insights into other peoples way to God. Not only that, if you don't know the Bible inside and out (and even if you do, actually!), there are quotations from the Bible explaining the why and hows, depending on the story of the person interviewed.
            All this, with Amy Hagbergs very nice way of writing (down to earth serious mixed with a nice blend of humor) makes this book a pleasure to read!
            Personally, I strongly recommend this book to everyone. It might be those who Seek, or those who have found, it doesn't matter, in my opinion! :)

            5 out of 5 stars Fantastic book!.......2007-01-24

            What a great book! Amy Hagberg has gathered some of today's biggest sports and music celebs to talk about how they know God is real. This book is in stark contrast to so many of today's depressing, tragedy-focused headlines. And the list of celebrities is impressive! [...]

            The Only Thing That Can Bring Down a Quinn is a Woman...

            The Last Mighty Quinn... P.I. Sean Quinn lives by one rule - never get involved. And he's always held to it...until his latest case, where he nabbed a polygamist just before the guy led another poor woman astray. His mistake? Agreeing to break the bad news to the man's fiancee. Because that woman is already at the church, expecting to become a bride. And she's just asked Sean to be her groom...

            His Downfall... If Laurel Rand can't prove to her uncle that she's married, he'll leave his entire fortune to a bunch of coin collectors. But before long, convince her uncle is the least of Laurel's problems. Confined with Sean in close quarters, trying in vain to ignore the overwhelming chemistry between them, Laurel sees just what great "husband" material Sean is. And she's determined to make him see it, too. Luckily, the deal they made covers the honeymoon stage...

            7th in The Mighty Quinns series

            5 out of 5 stars Sorry to see it end........2005-02-05

            Over the last few weeks I have really enjoyed the Mighty Quinns saga. Starting with Conor, finding out about their unknown sister & what happened to their mother & right through to Sean's story. I am sorry to see it end.

            Sean is twin to Brian. He's very reserved whereas Brian is the complete opposite. But the 2 share a bond that they don't with their other brothers.

            Sean took it hardest when their mother left them as children. When she came back into their lives Sean was unable to forgive her. In this one we find out why.

            Sean is working on a case when he meets Laurel Rand. He has to tell her, her fiancee has been arrested for bigamy. Instead of falling to pieces Laurel decides to marry Sean. She has her reasons for needing to marry. With Sean's feelings on marriage it is a surprise that he agree's to marry Lauren.

            This is a fantastic series of books on the Quinns & im just sorry they had to end.

            5 out of 5 stars As always, another great........2005-02-01

            Another fantastic read about the Quinn's. Brian is an investigative reporter. He meets Lily while on a job, little realising she is working for the enemy. This makes for some very interesting times ahead of them. And some very funny one's, like the demo & the scene in the lift. It's great to see some of the other brothers as well. I do enjoy a series who bring back characters from the earlier books. I'm about to start Sean's story, It will be a great disappointment to me because it is the last. There are some unresolved issue's with their parents which I hope will be cleared up in it.

            5 out of 5 stars Loved it........2005-01-01

            Dylan is the 2nd. Quinn brother to meet his match. Meggie has been in love with Dylan since high school, but he never noticed her. She was humiliated by Dylan at the prom dance, or so she thought. She planed her revenge, carried it out & then found out she was wrong all along.

            They say the path to true love never runs smooth & this is certainly the case with Meggie & Dylan. This is a fantastic series that will stay with you after you turn the last page.

            Next is Brendan's (A writer).

            5 out of 5 stars Great Book - Wish I could find a guy like Dylan.......2001-12-04

            This is the second book of the Mighty Quinn Series. I am actually reading them backwards. I started with Brenddan and now read Dylan's Story and plan to start Conor's tomorrow. I thought this book was adorable. The whole series has been great so far. I just wish Ms. hoffman would continue the series and write books about the younger 3 brothers. maybe Lana could fall in love with one of them? Can't wait for Reunited *The book about the Quinn's long lost sister and mother) next year.

            3 out of 5 stars A pleasant read -- Recommended.......2001-10-11

            Firefighter Dylan Quinn has a gift for charming women. In fact, fellow firefighters tease him about all the jackets he's left behind to provide an excuse to get together with the recipient later. Then he lends his jacket to the sexy Meggie Flannagan, a childhood friend, and swears off leaving any more jackets behind. He's found the woman who makes him want to reach beyond easy charisma and share a whole lot more.

            Meggie never forgave Dylan for her humiliation at the Sophomore Frolic in high school. Now she has a plan for revenge. She'll hook Dylan, and leave him before he has a chance to know what hit him. She's going to be the challenge that men like Dylan always want, since they only want what they cannot have. But then, one look in his eyes makes her want to forget her carefully laid-out plan. After all, no woman can resist the might Quinns.

            In this second novel of The Mighty Quinns, author Kate Hoffmann gives the second Quinn brother a chance at love. Dylan proves himself to be a sexy, dynamic hero who's always gotten by on his charm. Meggie demonstrates herself to be the woman he with whom he can share something real and honest. Nevertheless, although readers will find these characters appealing quite appealing, the conflict between may feel a bit thin, lacking the depth of plot demonstrated by the previous novel in this series. A pleasant read, THE MIGHT QUINNS: DYLAN comes recommended.

            5 out of 5 stars Another great Quinn........2005-01-04

            Brendan, brother number 3 carries Amy out of a bar after a brawl. When his brothers find out they tell him he is in trouble. Conor & Dylan did exactly that & found the love of their lives.

            A great continuation to this great series.

            "Reunited" is next & tells us what happened to their mother when they were children. I have got to try & find a copy of this one before I read the 3 younger brothers stories.

            4 out of 5 stars Wild and unpredictable -- Highly recommended.......2001-12-10

            As a child Brendan, in a time when there wasn't always enough to eat, dreamed of having enough money to travel the world. He always hated to fight, preferring the power of words to the power of a fist. Sometimes life throws a punch, however, that has to be returned; like the night he intervenes in a fight to assist a pretty waitress. Something about the pretty blond doesn't fit the bar; maybe she moves with to much grace, maybe she is just too classy. Whatever that quality is, others notice too and like to manhandle her. Brendan's brothers had made the mistake of saving damsels in distress and wound up married - a fate Brendan prefers to avoid. But ten minutes after he meets her, before he even knows his name, he wants to kiss her.

            At twenty-six, Amelia Aldrich Sloane ran away from home a week before her wedding. Tired of the strictures placed upon her by her family and their position in society, Amy has spent the last six months avoiding private detectives and earning her own way. Too bad the guy from the bar got her fired and cost her a place to live. When he appears in the late night fog, she accepts a bunk on his ship for the night. Soon she parlays it into a job as an assistant as Brendan completes his latest book. Born for adventure, Amy would enjoy an affair with Brendan -- which would be the greatest adventure of all. But the question remains as to what will she do if an affair just not enough.

            The third Quinn falls to the powers of love in THE MIGHTY QUINNS: BRENDAN. While the heroine and hero come from radically different backgrounds, they share a love for adventure. Bold and wild, Amy is an impetuous and bold heroine. While she's a bit immature at times with her silly blame game, she does use it to good effect. She also throws a mean punch, proving her ability to protect herself in the world she's chosen to hide. The harder Brendan protests falling in love, the harder he seems to fall. A wild and unpredictable pleasure, THE MIGHTY QUINNS: BRENDAN comes highly recommended.

            5 out of 5 stars Great read........2004-12-23

            Conor, the eldest of 6 bought his brothers up after their mother left them with their dad. Years later while working, he is assigned to protecting Olivia, a witness in a trial. As the pair are chased by criminals out to kill them, they sucumb to their feelings. This is something Conor has never felt, not having had a female influence in his life.

            I can't wait to read the other brothers stories (Dylan, Brendan, Liam, Brian & Sean). They are a fantastic family.

            5 out of 5 stars Sexy Irishman with a Desire.......2001-09-30

            Kate Hoffman captures the essence of a sexy Irishman in America. Conor was not looking for someone when he was ordered to keep an eyewitness safe. He kept remembering what his Da told him, "The only thing that can bring a Mighty Quinn down is a woman...". One look at his beautiful witness and he becomes distracted. Between hired hit men, a possible department leak, and a sexy witness, he forgets what he's been taught. Olivia just wants her life back and doesn't want to be a captive. Enjoyable fireworks. I can't wait to read about the next Mighty Quinn.

            4 out of 5 stars Scintillating -- Highly recommended.......2001-09-02

            Conor learned the lesson well at his father's knee: "Love for a woman is the only thing that can bring a Mighty Quinn down." Believing that women are trouble, Conor guards his heart carefully. Working vice for the Boston Police Department, Conor strives to make life safe for others. He's gone from taking care of his brothers to taking care of the city. Now he's been assigned the boring assignment of taking care of a witness. With just one look at his witness, however, Conor comes to believe that his father's warnings are true.

            Olivia Farrell had never done anything more illegal than fudging numbers on her tax return or surpassing a speed limit. She had been Boston's most successful antiques dealer. Too bad she didn't realize that her partner's bottomless wallet came from underworld connections. Now her business records have been impounded, her past scrutinized, her partner jailed, and her reputation hangs in tatters. Worse, a man wants her dead because she is a material witness in a murder and money laundering trial. She hates being vulnerable and dependent on someone else for help. Placed in a safe house, she dreams of the day she can get her life back. A leak in the department forces Conor and Olivia to run.

            Somewhere along the way, Conor needs to find a purpose in protecting others again, and Olivia needs to feel in control of her life. The resulting conflict reveals author Kate Hoffmann has a flair for portraying the path back from disillusionment. THE MIGHTY QUINNS: CONOR. This first installation of a new miniseries boldly creates a dangerous world of murder, presenting strong conflict and terrific characterizations. Very highly recommended.

                  4 out of 5 stars DO YOU HAVE A SECRET FANTASY?.......2006-09-16

                  FROM THE BACK COVER:

                  America's sweetheart Josie Eastman does. An Olympic skating star, she's always been a role model, always done what she was told. And she's sick of it. So she dumps everyting and jumps straight into the arms of the baddest cowboy she can find.

                  Travis McKinnon teaches her to ride a horse-she loves it. To milk a goat-what fun. To muck out a chicken coop-she even things that's a novelty! And when the handsome rancher teaches her all he knows about loving, she's ready to become a fulltime cowgirl.

                  But Travis thinks she's a spoiled city girl playing out a silly fantasy. How can Josie convince him that she wants this fantasy to last a lifetime?

                  Not a bad story, there was a little bit more to it than boy meets girl and falls in love.
