The World Economy: Resources, Location, Trade and Development
Well, the content of the book is fine, it is required for a course, so it works for that. The maps can be somewhat tricky to interpret due to the color scheme.
However, my copy is bound upside down and backwards… its in the right order if you flip it over and read it from the back and upside down relative to the cover, but for 100 dollars is it too much to expect it to be right? Bookbinding isn’t exactly new or confusing technology…

This was a book a professor assigned for an Economic Geography class. We got the most use out of the maps throughout the book. The data was useful, however, the color sequences in the maps were not logical so it made them a little confusing to interpret untill we got used to the “mixed up legend”. It was the class joke for the semester.
