Description
The only world atlas updated annually, Oxford's Atlas of the World is the most authoritative atlas on the market. Full of crisp, clear cartography of urban areas and natural landscapes around the globe, the Atlas contains maps of cities and regions at carefully selected scales that give a striking view of the Earth's surface. It opens with a detailed survey of world statistics, a six-page feature examining human migration, and an immersive collection of satellite images of Earth, including stunning new photographs specially sourced and processed for this atlas. The volume continues with a Gazetteer of Nations that has been comprehensively updated to include recent economic and political changes. The extensive thematic World Geography section is beautifully illustrated with charts, maps, and graphs on diverse topics of geographic significance, such as climate change, biodiversity, oceans and seas, population and cities, conflict and cooperation, energy and minerals, tourism and travel, global health, wealth, and standards of living. The hundreds of city and world maps that form the body of the Atlas have been thoroughly updated for this 28th edition. Providing the finest global coverage available, the Atlas of the World offers a diverse collection of information and cartography of unrivaled accuracy and clarity, presented in an uncommonly beautiful volume.
