Praise for LONDON: THE PHOTOGRAPHIC ATLAS:
'Drop heavy hints to Santa about London: The Photographic Atlas … a sublime book … an amazing labour of love' The Guardian
'Warning – don't buy this book! You will spend hours and hours, if not days and weeks, poring over its amazing detail. For lovers of London it is a must' Ken Livingstone, Mayor of London
'A fascinating book … it contains all the passion of a great city … fun for all the family' Rowan Moore, Evening Standard
'Absolutely brilliant' Chris Tarrant, Capital Radio
Product Description
‘ENGLAND: The Photographic Atlas’ again pairs the stunning aerial photography of Getmapping.com, creators of the Millennium Map, with Collins' renowned road atlas in a single 800-page volume that covers the whole country in exquisite and unprecedented detail.
If you live anywhere in England, you will already feel right at home within this book. However well you think you know the country, though, close inspection of its pages will reward you with some amazing insights into the fabric of the landscape: you will spot patterns and textures (both natural and man-made) that are all but invisible from the ground, discover surprising features shared between entirely unconnected areas, and explore new corners of the country for the very first time.
The photographic atlas is easy to use. The photography and the cartography share the same standard grid system, meaning you can cross-reference quickly between the two elements; and both photography and cartography are 'map accurate', as the photography has been geo-corrected, a process that removes the distortions in the original aerial photography.
ENGLAND: THE PHOTOGRAPHIC ATLAS is from the same series as LONDON: THE PHOTOGRAPHIC ATLAS, already published to great acclaim in 2000. Both titles draw on the Millennium Map, a contemporary Domesday Book destined to be a social record of the utmost historical importance.

A fascinating book - reveals so much more,
This review is from: England: The Photographic Atlas (Millennium Mapping Company) (Hardcover)
I found this book remarkable. It is well produced and adds a new dimension to the world of atlases. I find myself looking at places I have visited and can spend ages studying the detail and seeing what I might have missed. It is one of those books that you really do want to come back to time after time. Every home should invest in a copy.

The best and cheapest alternative to your own helicopter.,
By A Customer
This review is from: England: The Photographic Atlas (Millennium Mapping Company) (Hardcover)
This book provides for the ordinary mortal what you can only otherwise get from flying. There is sufficient detail for most to be able to find their house or to explore areas they would like to visit. Combined with a good map there is nothing left that you need to know about the physical geography of any area of the country. A wonderful teaching aid for the young and an essential for the casually interested or enthusiast.

A true record of England at this time, a snapshot in history,
By A Customer
This review is from: England: The Photographic Atlas (Millennium Mapping Company) (Hardcover)
This is a beautifully produced and photographed tome. Whether or not you have travelled England well, you will be in awe of the magnificence of this country when seen from above. As a city dweller, the countryside appears to be a patchwork quilt of greenness. The map references are clear and simple to use, individual houses are not clearly visible although local landmarks are easy enough to find. My partner has spent hours looking at all the golf courses he has ever played! Be careful when lifting this book as it is very heavy.
