Atlas, Schmatlas is the perfect gift for an armchair traveler with a sense of humor. Author Craig Robinson is not a geographer but has a collection of snow globes from far-flung places. "Atlas, Schmatlas" has whimsical illustrations, delightful reading, and no plot to follow so it can be set down and picked up without trying to remember what the story line entailed.
