With the changes in world geopolitical arrangements (Crimea anyone?!) printed atlases may not be up-to-date. Many electronic resources can fill that gap, and may even replace your print-book versions. Here are some sources to explore:
World Book:
Sometimes teachers forget that there is an atlas built into WB encyclopedia. From the maps, you can jump to detailed articles on each country.
Atlas of Canada:
CanGeo atlas
NatGeo MapMachine
EarthTools & Map Coords (long and lat)
Worldatlas (Some advertising)
