Comprehensive Atlas of the World - £150.00
The Times Comprehensive Atlas of the World is universally recognised as
the world's most prestigious and authoritative reference atlas. Since it's
first edition in 1967 it has sold over 1 million copies. The 10th
edition, published in 1999, was the first completely new edition of the
atlas since its introduction. Now this fully revised 11th edition brings
all the reference maps and detailed thematic information completely up to
date. The preliminary section is introduced by unique satellite images of
the continents and continues with a series of maps, images, photographs
and graphics which present a detailed picture of today's physical world
and man's interaction with it. The section also includes an account of the
evolution of world maps and of significant developments in cartography,
and concludes with detailed geographical information on the world's
physical features and the world's states and territories. The reference
maps, produced in the distinctive and authoritative Times style, present
the most accurate and up-to-date representation of our knowledge of the
earth today. The areas shown, and the scale and map projection of each
plate, have been specifically chosen to give the best representation of
each geographical area. The maps now include a brand new map of the
world’s physical features. The gazetteer-index to over 200,000 place
names and geographical features illustrates the unique scope of the atlas.
It includes full cross-referencing with alternative and former names,
geographical coordinates of every settlement shown on the maps, and a
comprehensive glossary of geographical terms. The atlas includes: o 72
page introductory section o 250 pages of reference maps of continents,
countries and oceans o 224 page gazetteer index to over 200,000 place
