From Baird Maritime:
Readers might wonder why, in this age of Google Earth, you might need to buy an atlas.
First of all, for anyone over the age of forty, a book is a considerably quicker reference. It is also much easier to carry and store than a computer. Also, as in this case, a CD Rom is supplied with the book so you can display all its contents on your computer if you are that desperate.
Meanwhile, for all those luddites such as your reviewer, a well-produced book still provides more than adequate justification for chopping down a few trees. After all, they are a renewable resource.
In the case of this highly refined and very focused atlas, the sacrificed trees are well justified. It is a fantastic resource for any wide-ranging mariner. Each new edition gets better and more useful than the last. This one is packed with information and ideas.
