Product Description

Product Description
Fully revised for 2002, with digital world maps, this atlas has been designed for home reference use. The 32-page "World in Focus" and 48-page A-Z country-by-country gazetteer contain colourful maps, charts, diagrams and flags, together with information on population and land area for the countries of the world. This atlas also includes a special "World Cities" section, which provides urban area and city centre maps marking tourist sites for 67 of the world's most important cities, backed up with an index and full-page satellite images for 9 of the cities featured. The 96 pages of physical and political maps aim to give a balanced coverage of the world. Each map is accompanied by a locator and adjoining pages indicator. The 35,000-name index includes geographical features as well as towns and cities, with both letter-figure grid references and latitude and longitude co-ordinates.

4.0 out of 5 stars Contains up-to-date information for the modern traveller., 28 April 2009
By Ned Middleton (British professional underwater photo-journalist & author) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
The map of the world continues to evolve as new countries emerge. This is especially so with modern Europe in the years since the demise of the Soviet Union and former Yugoslavia. As all travellers and students of geography will know, up-to-date information about any country's boundaries and borders is vital. How else might one visit, say, Dubrovnik, without knowing that that city is now in Croatia and not within the boundaries of a former country which no longer exists.

Whilst all households should possess at least one Atlas of the World, the problems associated with those much larger tomes are generally a price which is often prohibitive and, secondly, there does tend to be no space for such an outsize product on the family bookshelf. Of course, the bigger the atlas, the easier it is to see and appreciate whatever information may be contained on the various maps but in this particular product we find an optimum size which suits all requirements.

Commencing with a 47 page gazetteer of nations in alphabetic order - complete with national flag, there are 96 pages of relief maps by continent, region and country, political maps, 32 pages devoted to world geography and 35,000 place names in an index which also includes local spellings. In short, this product is just about as complete as one might hope to find. As such, it also provides all the background and general information one might require when contemplating a visit or, perhaps in support of one's studies. It will also appeal to those who simply want to know the answer to some vexatious question.
