Description:
The only world atlas updated annually, guaranteeing that users will find the most current geographic information, Oxford's Atlas of the World is the most authoritative atlas on the market. Full of crisp, clear cartography of urban areas and virtually uninhabited landscapes around the globe, the Atlas is filled with maps of cities and regions at carefully selected scales that give a striking view of the Earth's surface.

Atlas of the World remains the finest international reference source of its kind available.

Features:
  • Completely updated "Images of the Earth" section, including new satellite images of Rome, Baku, Sana’, Juba, Brazzaville and Kinshasa, Christchurch, Las Vegas, Mexico City, and Lima
  • Sophisticated digital mapping showing detailed political and topographical information with exceptional brightness and clarity, including the newly formed country of South Sudan
  • Fascinating features chronicling important and evolving topics such as the world food supply and the rise in international shipping policy
  • Current and reliable world statistics tables showing data on population and income
  • A thoroughly updated Gazetteer of Nations profiling the latest developments in over 200 countries and territories
  • A comprehensive index of thousands of historical names, geographical features, and cities with full latitude and longitude coordinates along with letter-figure grid references
Opening with world statistics and a colorful, instructive 48-page Introduction to World Geography - beautifully illustrated with tables and graphs - this acclaimed resource provides details on numerous topics of geographic significance, such as climate change, biodiversity, energy, and landforms.

Full of crisp, clear cartography of urban areas and virtually uninhabited landscapes around the globe, the Atlas has maps of 69 cities and nearly 100 different regions at carefully selected scales to give a striking view of the Earth's surface.

When Oxford's Atlas of the World debuted, it was widely praised for the incredible beauty and accuracy of its maps and for its wealth of geographical information. It remains the finest top-of-the-line atlas available, with hundreds of dramatic full-color, large-format maps and a host of gorgeous satellite photography.
